Desperate for cash, screenwriter Joe Gillis (Wiliam Holden) has a chance meeting with a faded silent film star. Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) has become a sad recluse who lives in her crumbling Sunset Boulevard mansion with only her butler to keep her company. Convinced that the outside world is clamoring for her dramatic return, Desmond invites Gillis to stay in her mansion to complete the script, forcing him to become involved and entangled in her demented life.
