Plot Summary

After reading too many novels about knights and heroic stories, Don Quijote and his servant Sancho Panza decide to wander the roads of Spain to protect the weak and to accomplish good deeds. But the real world is not as magical and fair as Don Quijote imagines it to be. Following the plot of Cervantes' classic book, Don Quijote fights with windmills thinking they are giants but unluckily, he manages to be defeated by them.

Edit
Trivia Unlike other unfinished Orson Welles films, "Don Quixote's" incomplete state was not because of lack of finances. Welles always considered his Don Quixote a "private exercise". Or as he put it, he worked on it like an author works on a novel; under no obligations, no time constraints, and could finish it whenever he feels like it. See more »
