Young, wealthy, and basking in the Italian sun, this is the life Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) desires, but it is already possessed by Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law). Ripley is an unremarkable young man with nothing to boast about, and he is tasked by a rich businessman to go to Italy to persuade his wayward son Dickie to return to America. However, upon arrival, Ripley becomes deeply enchanted by Dickie's lifestyle: the beautiful villa, luxurious resort hotels, extravagant spending, and his beautiful, gentle girlfriend all fill him with envy. As Ripley covets Dickie's life, his desire eventually expands into wanting to take Dickie's place. His meticulous thinking is not only shocking but his calm criminal methods catch everyone off guard. Just as he revels in the beautiful dream he has crafted, a fateful coincidence leads Ripley to inadvertently expose himself, attracting police attention and prompting an investigation… This film is adapted from the novel of the same name written by the female author Patricia Highsmith in 1955. French director René Clément made a film based on this novel titled "Plein Soleil" in 1960, starring French star Alain Delon.
