Pendant une chasse à courre, André Chénier, secrétaire à l'ambassade de Londres et Madeleine de Coigny font connaissance. Après quelques remarques cinglantes de la jeune noble au poète roturier, c'est le grand amour. Le palefrenier Gérard, dont la famille sert les Coigny de père en fils est jaloux. Le père de la jeune fille, le comte de Coigny, très fier de sa noblesse s'oppose à leur amour. Dès les premiers mouvements révolutionnaires, Chénier revient à Paris. Gérard, acquis aux idées nouvelles, arrive trop tard pour empêcher le départ de ses anciens maîtres. Il se lance à leur poursuite.Actors

The film begins in the spring of 1794, when the Reign of Terror was in full swing. On the borders of Paris, any vehicles entering Paris, including the carriage of Danton, who has just ridden in, are being searched. Robespierre, meanwhile, is sick in his bed. His landlady's daughter, Éléonore Duplay, attempts to comfort him, but is unable to. Her nephew, whom she is taking care of, is meanwhile being made to memorize lines from the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Back in the streets of Paris, starving lines of people, waiting for bread, discuss the possible reasons for the lack of it. Whether or not it is an enemy plot, the people do know that they are hungry, and that hunger leads to revolt. Once the bread store actually opens, and they finally begin to receive their bread, they are distracted by their other source of faith and hope in life: Danton. As Robespierre is watching, Danton is swarmed by a mob of supporters and fans, who all cry out for help. Robespierre, in his flat, is visited by Heron, the chief of the secret police, and instructs him to destroy the print shop of Camille Desmoulins, who is publishing pro-Dantonist circulars.
