We see a panorama of London in 1600 and travel to the Globe Theatre where the audience is being seated. The Chorus (Leslie Banks) enters and implores the audience to use their imagination to visualise the setting of the play. We then see, up on a balcony, two clergymen, The Archbishop of Canterbury (Felix Aylmer), and the Bishop of Ely (Robert Helpmann) discussing the current affairs of state. Henry (Laurence Olivier) then enters, and discusses with his nobles the state of France. A gift is delivered to Henry from the French Dauphin. The gift turns out to be tennis balls, a jibe at Henry's youth and inexperience. Offended, Henry sends the French ambassador away, and prepares to claim the French throne, a throne that he believes is rightfully his.

The film opens with the statement: "The German invasion of Britain took place in 1940 after the retreat from Dunkirk." After months of fierce resistance and brutal reprisals, the occupying forces manage to restore order, largely suppressing the resistance movement. However, due to demands from the Ural Mountains front, most German troops are eventually removed from Western Europe, and the garrisoning of Britain is largely carried out by local volunteers to the German army and the SS.

Barry Fitzgerald, who played Captain Jack Boyle in the original stage production, appears as an orator in the first scene, but has no other role. In the slums of Dublin during the Irish Civil War, Captain Boyle (Edward Chapman) lives in a two-room tenement flat with his wife Juno (Sara Allgood) and their two young children Mary (Kathleen O'Regan) and Johnny (John Laurie). Juno has dubbed her husband "the Paycock" because she thinks him as useful and vain as a peacock. Juno works while the Captain loafs around the flat when not drinking up the family's meager finances at the neighbourhood pub.

Le protagoniste est Vassili Ivanovitch Tchapaïev, un commandant bolchévique de la Guerre civile russe. Le scénario est basé sur le livre éponyme de Dmitri Fourmanov. Fourmanov en réalité était commissaire politique de la division commandée par Tchapaïev. Son livre est néanmoins romancé et non pas simplement documentaire. Dans le film, Fourmanov apparaît en personne comme un des personnages principaux. L'image épique de Tchapaïev créée par Boris Babotchkine est celle d'un homme sans instruction, avec peu de conscience politique affirmée, mais qui comprit instinctivement les buts des Bolchéviks et l'art de la guerre révolutionnaire. (Le Tchapaïev historique était un homme plus complexe). Dans une scène célèbre, le commandant explique à un de ses subordonnés une attaque contre les Blancs en utilisant des pommes de terre qui symbolisaient tel ou tel groupe militaire. Parmi les personnages principaux, on trouve Petka, jeune aide-de-camp de Tchapaïev, et une jeune fille, Anka, qui est responsable de la mitrailleuse. Dans la scène finale, Tchapaïev se noie dans le fleuve Oural.

In 1965, Airman Second Class Adrian Cronauer (Williams) arrives in Saigon from Crete to work as a DJ for Armed Forces Radio Service. Cronauer is greeted by Private First Class Edward Montesquieu Garlick (Whitaker). Cronauer's irreverence contrasts sharply with many staff members and soon rouses the ire of two of his superiors, Second Lieutenant Steven Hauk (Kirby) and Sergeant Major Phillip Dickerson (Walsh). Hauk adheres to strict Army guidelines in terms of humor and music programming, while Dickerson is generally abusive to all enlisted men. However, Brigadier General Taylor (Willingham) and the other DJs quickly grow to like the new man and his brand of comedy. Cronauer's show consists of unpredictable humor segments mixed with news updates (vetted by the station censors) and rock and roll records that are frowned upon by his superiors.
