Der Stummfilmstar Norma Desmond gehorte zu den Gottinnen der Leinwand. Im Blitzlichtgewitter wurde sie gefeiert, die ganze »Traumfabrik« Hollywood lag ihr zu Fußen. Doch der Tonfilm beendete ihre Karriere abrupt. Und sie musste begreifen, wie verganglich Ruhm sein kann. Man schreibt das Jahr 1949: Zuruckgezogen von der Welt, verbittert und nur noch ein Schatten ihrer selbst, lebt Norma in ihrer luxuriosen Villa und wartet auf ein Comeback. Vergeblich - bis wie aus dem Nichts der erfolglose Drehbuchautor Joe Gillis in ihr Leben tritt. Plotzlich bluht die kapriziose Diva wieder auf. Sie verliebt sich in den jungen Mann, durch den sie sich erneuten Starrummel und eine baldige Ruckkehr auf die Leinwand verspricht. Doch Wunsch und Wirklichkeit gehen nicht immer Hand in Hand. Joe ist langst nicht der, der er vorgibt zu sein. Und auch Normas Traume von erneutem Ruhm entpuppen sich schon bald als Luftschlosser - ein dramatischer Showdown bahnt sich an.
