Loosely based on Washington Irving's 18th-century horror tale, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Burton's movie follows a mild-mannered detective named Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) investigating a series of supernatural murders in a small town. The inhabitants believe it's the work of a homicidal ghost, AKA the Headless Horseman; he doesn't know what to believe. During his off hours, Crane becomes entangled with the fair Katrina Van Tassle (Christina Ricci), the daughter of a rich local.
