La mort imminent de l'ancià patriarca d'una acomodada família del Sud desencadena terribles tensions entre els seus hereus. Un dels seus fills, Brick, indecís i apàtic, es refugia a l'alcohol i es mostra completament indiferent davant la situació, però Maggie, la seva dona, no està disposada a contemplar impassible la seva destrucció. L'altre, Gooper, com la seva dona, és ambiciós i oportunista.
