During the 1930s, James Stevens (Anthony Hopkins) serves as a
proper English butler to the doltish Lord Darlington (James Fox).
Stevens is so dedicated that he forgoes visiting his father on his
deathbed in order to serve and overlooks Darlington's Nazi
sympathies and growing anti-Semitism. Twenty years after his
employer's death, Stevens tries to reconnect with Miss Kenton (Emma
Thompson), Darlington's head housekeeper, and begins to regret his
loyalty to his former master.
