二十年代初期，响往共产主义的美国名记者约翰·雷德千方百计跑到十月革命之后的苏俄体验生活，追求理想的政治国度，并写出了轰动世界的报导文学《震动世界的十天》。然而，他最后对共产主义彻底失望，重回自由世界。
电影摘要： 第一幕：雷德和露易丝·布莱恩特在波特兰相遇。 第二幕：20世纪10年代在格林威治村的知识分子生活。雷德和露易丝被尤金·奥尼尔和艾玛·高曼等思想家吸引。 第三幕：雷德和露易丝接受俄国革命的影响。 第四幕：雷德试图在美国建立共产党。 第五幕：雷德来到俄国接受布尔什维克的帮助宣传社会主义。1920年雷德去世，年仅32岁。 五个部分充满了乱糟糟的争吵，换句话说，这很难让你对这段历史激起足够的兴趣。在第一部分，观众必须容忍长时间谄媚性的诱导。在这之后，则是雷德和露易丝一段奇怪的爱情：当他们彼此凝视，伴随着革命的高潮和八十年庸俗的音乐，这对恋人的爱情似乎也达到了顶点。第二部分似乎值得一看，事实上，如果影片在这个间断之前结束的话，会比现在这个版本好的多，因为工人运动造成的气氛足以充实这部电影。也许沃伦·比蒂想得太多了，而且多是西方社会对苏联幻觉式的认知，所以才造就了这只嘈杂的万花筒。
