In the early United States of America, young policeman Ichabod Crane is sent to from New York to the fledgling settlement of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of ghoulish murders.

Ichabod is unconvinced of this, but learns more about the ghostly horseman - it is the ghost of a Hessian sent by the British during the revolutionary war, and he was caught by redcoats and decapitated with his own sword. When Ichabod sees the ghost kill one of the town council members, his skepticism evaporates - and he soon discovers that the horseman's ghost has an unholy connection to Balthus Van Tassel, a wealthy farmer - and whose daughter Ichabod is falling in love with...

劇情簡介
In 1799, young constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is sent from New York City after getting into an argument with a judge over the archaic use of torture. In order to teach him a lesson, he sends Ichabod to the fledgling settlement of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of ghoulish murders. On Ichabod's arrival, Baltus Van Tassel (Michael Gambon) and the town council inform him that the three/four victims, Dirk and Peter Van Garrett, the widow Emily Winship, and the widow's unborn child (which we learn later) to Peter Van Garrett, were killed on open ground, and their severed heads are believed to have been taken by a headless ghost. Ichabod is skeptical, but proceeds to learn more about the ghostly Headless Horseman: it is the ghost of a Hessian mercenary (Christopher Walken), a horseman who rode a great black stallion named Daredevil. He and other mercenaries were sent by German princes during the Revolutionary War. The Hessian came because of his love of killing and battle—he was renowned for cutting off heads at full gallop. The Horseman was killed in the winter of 1779 in the woods west of Sleepy Hollow where a group of soldiers overpowered him, decapitating him with his own sword. Although Ichabod is initially spooked by the story, he maintains the killer must be of flesh and blood, and will be found. That night, a man named Jonathan Masbath is killed by the Horseman.
