Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp), an eccentric and earnest constable with an avant-garde approach to solving crime, is put to the test when his superiors send him to the small village of Sleepy Hollow to probe a string of murders allegedly commited by a headless horseman.

Set in 1799, Sleepy Hollow is based on Washington Irving’s classic tale The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Faithful to the dreamy, custom-bound world that Irving paints in his story, the film mixes horror, fantasy, and romance as its characters dabble in the supernatural.
