Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp) - a man unjustly imprisoned for 15 years, manages to escape back to London with a vow of revenge. Adopting the guise of Sweeney Todd, Barker returns to his old barber shop above Mrs. Lovett's pie-making premises. There he sets his sights on Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman), who sent him away in order to steal his wife, Lucy (Laura Michelle Kelly), and his baby daughter from him. When a rival barber, the flamboyant Italian Pirelli (Sacha Baron Cohen), threatens to expose Sweeney's real identity, Todd kills him. Mrs. Lovett sees this crisis as a potential solution to her ailing business - and suggests using his victims as filling for her pies. Mrs. Lovett dreams of respectability and a life at the seaside with Sweeney as her husband. But Sweeney has only revenge on his mind - to the detriment of anyone or anything else.
