"Not since Gone With The Wind has there been a great romantic epic like it!"
John Reed (Warren Beatty) is a left-wing journalist during the First World War. During a speaking engagement, he meets feminist Louise Bryant (Diane Keaton), who is married to a boring dentist (Nicolas Coster). Louise leaves her husband and moves with Reed to New York's Greenwich Village, where she finds herself in radical left-wing circles. Despite tensions between them, Reed and Bryant go to Russia together in 1917, just in time to witness the Bolshevik October Revolution there. Back in the United States, Reed hopes to lead a similar revolution there.
