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

In Strasbourg in 1800, fervent Bonapartist and obsessive duellist Lieutenant Gabriel Feraud (Harvey Keitel) of the French 7th Hussars, nearly kills the nephew of the city's mayor in a sword duel. Under pressure from the mayor, Brigadier-General Treillard (Robert Stephens) sends a member of his staff, Lieutenant Armand d'Hubert (Keith Carradine) of the 3rd Hussars, to put Feraud under house arrest. As the arrest takes place in the house of Madame de Lionne (Jenny Runacre), a prominent local lady, Feraud takes it as a personal insult from d'Hubert. Matters are made worse when Feraud asks d'Hubert if he would "let them spit on Napoleon" and d'Hubert doesn't immediately reply. Upon reaching his quarters, Feraud challenges d'Hubert to a duel. The duel is inconclusive; d'Hubert slashes Feraud's forearm but is unable to finish him off, because he is attacked by Feraud's housemaid. As a result of his part in the duel, d'Hubert is dismissed from the General's staff and returned to active duty with his unit.
