Georges Duroy (*Robert Pattinson*), son of a Norman peasant and noncommissioned officer with neither money nor talent, goes to Paris. Charles Forestier, an old army friend with a career in the press hires him as an editor for "La Vie française" and introduces him to high society. The intriguing and brilliant Madame Forestier (*Uma Thurman*) offers to write articles for him. He seduces her friend Clothilde (*Christina Ricci*) and when the editor-in-chief Rousset fires him, he tries to seduce Virginie Rousset (*Kristin Scott-Thomas*) to get his job back. But *Bel Ami* is very ambitious and aims for power. Will high society let him reach their altitude?
