Ce film est une fresque historique qui porte sur la Révolution française, retraçant les premières années de cette période (1789-1793), en se focalisant notamment sur le rôle et la perception par ses contemporains du roi Louis XVI dans les tumultes qui secouent la France et qui amènent la fin de la société d'Ancien Régime. Le film donne à voir des figures historiques marquantes de ce moment, comme Robespierre, Marat, Desmoulins ou encore Danton, dans des séculaires États Généraux qui se muent en une toute jeune Assemblée nationale avant de se transformer en une révolutionnaire Assemblée constituante.
