The film follows the life of Solomon Northup (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free African-American man from Saratoga Springs, New York. Solomon is a skilled carpenter and a talented violinist living comfortably with his wife and children. However, his life takes a tragic turn in 1841 when he is lured to Washington, D.C., under the pretense of a lucrative touring gig with a circus.
Solomon is transported to New Orleans and given a new name: "Platt." He is sold at a slave market to a relatively kind plantation owner named William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch). Solomon works hard and uses his intelligence to help Ford with engineering tasks, which earns him Ford's favor but creates jealousy among the white overseers, particularly a man named Tibeats. After a violent confrontation with Tibeats, Solomon is forced to flee and is eventually sold to another plantation to save his life. 12 Years A Slave -2013- Dual Audio Hindi Dubbed
