Based on Oscar Wilde's play, the movie centers around Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam), a Government minister who is famous for his honesty and incorruptibility. His wife, Lady Gertrude Chiltern (Cate Blanchett), who is morality itself, is a match for him. So they are a happily married couple. However, Sir Robert isn't as perfect as he seems. One day Mrs. Laura Cheveley (Julianne Moore) who has proof of his past misdeed arrives in London to blackmail Chiltern. His impeccable reputation and successful political career are threatened but he is more anxious about how not to lose his beloved wife. Therefore he turns for help to his best pal, Lord Arthur Goring (Rupert Everett), who coincidentally had a relationship with the devilish Mrs. Chieveley. Goring advises not to give way to despair but take serious measures against the blackmailer.
