L'ottantenne re Lear suddivide il suo regno tra le figlie Goneril, Regan e Cordelia, basandosi sull'affetto che queste nutrono nei suoi confronti. Cordelia, però, si rifiuta di adularlo e per tale ragione viene bandita. Dopo aver acquisito il potere, Goneril e Regan cacciano il padre dalle loro case. Nel frattempo, Gloucester, il primo ministro di Lear, viene tradito dal figlio Edmund ed Edgar, l'altro figlio, è costretto a nascondersi. Mentre Lear diventa pazzo, Gloucester è accecato: sia il regno sia le famiglie piombano nel caos e nella guerra. Lear e Cordelia si ritrovano e per un breve periodo regna l'amore prima che arrivi la tragedia finale.
