New York: due storie parallele si sfiorano nella società medio-alta borghese ebraica.
Judah, noto chirurgo oculista, tradisce da anni la moglie per l'ex hostess Dolores, innamorata del medico e sull'orlo di una crisi di nervi, ossessionata da volersi rivelare alla moglie tradita, fino a scriverle una lettera che Judah riesce a distruggere prima che arrivi a destinazione. Ciononostante, Dolores continua a perseguitare e minacciare il suo amante, il quale, per non rovinare la sua ottima reputazione e ormai stanco di tenere in piedi la doppia vita, si vede costretto a chiedere l'aiuto di suo fratello, criminale senza scrupoli, che si offre come sicario e la uccide. Judah entra così in una profonda crisi di coscienza da cui ne uscirà a fatica.
Il documentarista Cliff Stern, deluso della sua vita e del suo rapporto coniugale, vede in Halley, che lavora nel mondo del cinema, la via d'uscita ai suoi problemi. I due si conoscono durante la realizzazione di un suo documentario sulla figura del miliardario Lester, uomo di successo e dalla dubbia moralità, che però ricopre di attenzioni proprio Halley. Mentre Cliff se ne innamora e inizia un timido corteggiamento, tenta con ogni mezzo di gettare fango sulla figura del suo antagonista, benché stia lavorando per lui: ciononostante la ragazza, ignara dei sentimenti di Cliff per lei, sceglierà Lester. Cliff e Halley erano legati anche dalla realizzazione di un documentario sul professor Louis Levy; tutto andrà in fumo proprio a seguito dell'inatteso suicidio del professore (interpretato da Martin S. Bergmann, che nella realtà è proprio un professore di psicologia all'Università di New York).
Tempo dopo, durante un ricevimento, Cliff e Judah si conoscono e si ritrovano a conversare, tracciando un bilancio della loro esistenza e raccontandosi in terza persona.
In New York City, the story follows two main characters: Judah Rosenthal, a successful ophthalmologist, and Clifford Stern, a small-time filmmaker.
Judah's concern is his affair with flight attendant Dolores Paley. After it becomes clear to her that Judah will not end his marriage, Dolores, scorned, intends to inform his wife of their affair. Dolores' letter to Miriam is intercepted and destroyed by Judah, but she sustains the pressure on him with her threats of revelation. She is also aware of some ethically questionable financial moves Judah has made, which adds to his stress.
Judah confides in a patient, Ben, a rabbi who is rapidly losing his eyesight. Ben advises openness and honesty between Judah and his wife, but Judah does not wish to imperil his marriage.
He desperately turns to his brother, Jack, who hires a hitman to kill Dolores. Before her corpse is discovered, Judah retrieves letters and other items from her apartment (where he sees her bloody corpse) in order to cover his tracks. Stricken with guilt, Judah turns to the religious teachings he had rejected, believing for the first time that a just God is watching him and passing judgment.
Cliff, meanwhile, has been hired by his pompous brother-in-law, Lester, a successful television producer, to make a documentary celebrating Lester's life and work. Cliff grows to despise him. While filming and mocking the subject, Cliff falls in love with Lester's associate producer, Halley Reed (Mia Farrow).
Despondent over his failing marriage to Lester's sister Wendy, he woos Halley, showing her footage from his ongoing documentary about Prof. Louis Levi, a renowned philosopher. He makes sure Halley is aware that he is shooting Lester's documentary merely for the money so he can finish his more meaningful project with Levi.
Cliff's disrespect and dislike for Lester become evident in a first screening of the film. It juxtaposes footage of Lester with shots of Benito Mussolini addressing a throng of supporters from a balcony; it also depicts Lester yelling at his employees and clumsily making a pass at an attractive young actress.
Cliff learns that Professor Levi, whom he had been profiling on the strength of his celebration of life, has committed suicide, leaving a curt note, "I've gone out the window." When Halley visits to comfort him, he makes a pass at her, which she gently rebuffs, telling him she isn't ready for romance in her life.
Adding to Cliff's burdens, Halley leaves for London, where Lester is offering her a producing job; when she returns several months later, Cliff is astounded to discover that she and Lester are engaged. Hearing that Lester sent Halley a bouquet of white roses every week they were in London, Cliff is crestfallen as he realizes he is incapable of that kind of ostentatious display. His last romantic gesture to Halley had been a love letter which, he admits, he had plagiarized almost entirely from James Joyce.
In the final scene, Judah and Cliff meet by happenstance at the wedding of the daughter of rabbi Ben, who is Cliff's brother-in-law and Judah's patient. Once deeply anguished by the murder he arranged, Judah has worked through his guilt and is enjoying life once more; the murder had been blamed on a drifter with a record. He draws Cliff into a supposedly hypothetical discussion that draws upon his moral quandary. Judah says that with time, any crisis will pass; but Cliff morosely claims instead that one is forever fated to bear one's burdens for "crimes and misdemeanors."
