In 1952, Saigon is a city torn apart by war and political intrigue. A young American, Alden Pyle, arrives with a mission to bring aid and democracy to the Vietnamese people. But as he becomes embroiled in a dangerous love triangle with a British journalist, Thomas Fowler, and his beautiful Vietnamese mistress, Phuong, the lines between love, loyalty, and betrayal become fatally blurred.
