En brandvarm bus fyldt med sløve amerikanske turister kommer trillende i en ørken i Marokko. Som et lyn fra en klar himmel, rammes passageren Susan (Cate Blanchett) af et riffelskud, som også er startskuddet på tre hæsblæsende historier, der elegant flettes sammen til én smuk, smertefuld fabel. Det essentielle tema ligger i filmens titel, nemlig myten om babelstårnet, som symbol på manglende kommunikation og forståelse. En aldeles højaktuel politisk sprængfarlig film kombineret med universelle følelser. Bered dig på Babel, en tindrende smuk, bevægende og stærk beretning, der både har imponeret og glædet anmeldere og publikum.
