Journeying across the perilous countryside, a struggling merchant stumbles upon the magical domain of the fearsome Beast (Vincent Cassel, Black Swan), who sentences him to death for stealing a rose. The merchant's youngest daughter Belle (Léa Seydoux, Spectre) bravely sacrifices herself and takes her father's place. Once at the Beast's castle, it is not death that awaits Belle, but a strange and fantastical life unlike anything she has ever experienced...and the discovery that her mysterious host is living under a terrible enchantment. As Belle valiantly attempts to release the Beast from his curse, the two discover that a most unlikely bond blooms between them - true love.
