Действие картины разворачивается в оккупированной Франции. На глазах у Сюзанны Дрейфус от рук немецкого полковника Ганса Ланда погибает ее семья. Девушке чудом удается спастиcь и бежать в Париж. Там она устраивается на работу в кинотеатр. В это же время где-то в Европе лейтенант Альдо Рэйн собирает группу еврейских солдат, именующих себя «Ублюдками». К ним примыкает тайный агент Бриджет фон Хаммерсмарк, выдающая себя за актрису. Обе сюжетные линии пересекаются, когда диверсанты встречаются в кинотеатре с Сюзанной, мечтающей отомстить обидчикам.
Эта любовная драма началась задолго до того дня, когда в 1596 году Роберт Деверекс граф Эссекс с триумфом вошел в ворота замка Уайтхолл после своей победы над Испанией. Весь двор только и говорил о том, что молодой граф вот-вот станет королем Англии потому, что его любовный роман с королевой достоин великолепной кульминации.
Королева же встретила победителя холодно, обвинения сыпались как из рога изобилия: тут и расточительство, и потопление Испанского флота, вместе с которым под воду ушли тонны золота, которого так не хватает Англии, разоренной войной. В итоге вместо награды за подвиги герой получил только пощечину от самой Елизаветы. Сжигаемый обидой и горечью он удалился в свое родовое поместье вблизи Лондона. Шли дни. Королева, осознав свою ошибку, ищет повод, чтобы вернуть обиженного любовника во дворец, и повод нашелся — война с Ирландией…
