Filmul 12 ani de sclavie este inspirat din povestea adevărată a unui bărbat care luptă pentru supraviețuire și libertate, într-o perioadă în care culoarea pielii stabilește valoarea umană. Înainte de izbucnirea Războiului Civil din Statele Unite, Solomon Northup, un negru care pune preț pe libertate, este răpit și vândut ca sclav. Trecând prin momente de o cruzime insuportabilă, dar și prin clipe neașteptate de blândețe, pentru Solomon neprețuite rămân viața și demnitatea sa. În cei 12 ani de sclavie, definitorie pentru destinul său va fi doar întâlnirea cu un aboliționist canadian, interpretat de Brad Pitt.
