Amadeus is a 1984 American period biographical drama film directed by Miloš Forman and adapted by Peter Shaffer from his 1979 stage play of the same name, starring F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce. Described by Shaffer as a "fantasia on [a real-life] theme", and originally inspired by Alexander Pushkin's 1830 play Mozart and Salieri, the film imagines a rivalry between two of Vienna composers of the 18th century: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Hulce) and Antonio Salieri (Abraham). Over the course of the film, Salieri struggles to reconcile his professional admiration of Mozart with his personal hatred for the man and resolves to ruin Mozart's career to avenge himself against God.
