1922年的春天，作家尼克滿懷希望離開家鄉(xiāng)，隨淘金熱潮來到紐約，這里股票飛漲，貧富兩極分化，人們沉淪在紙醉金迷中。尼克為了追尋美國夢，放棄寫作而進入證券市場，并搬入紐約附近的海灣居住，成為了神秘富豪蓋茨比的鄰居。而海灣的對岸住著尼克的表妹黛西和她的貴族丈夫湯姆，尼克漸漸迷失在這個充滿魅力，以及富豪編制的假象、愛與謊言的世界中。尼克被邀請參加了蓋茨比豪宅中的盛宴，還發(fā)現(xiàn)蓋茨比心中的秘密，原來他一直深愛著黛西，即使她沒等到他戰(zhàn)后歸來，轉(zhuǎn)而嫁給富豪湯姆，蓋茨比一直深信他們的愛情矢志不渝。尼克作為蓋茨比與黛西愛情的見證者，終于在蓋茨比被謀殺之后，看清了這個上流社會的虛情寡義，決心遠離大都市，黯然回到故鄉(xiāng)Moviesofcourseneedimpressive
