Robert Kincaid (Eastwood), a globetrotting National Geographic photographer, journeys to Madison County in 1965 to shoot its lovely covered bridges. Upon his arrival, he stops by an old farmhouse to ask directions, whereupon he encounters housewife Francesca Johnson (Streep) whose spouse and two children are out of town. Thus begins their four-day affair, a liaison that fundamentally changes them both. Later Francesca chronicles the affair in a diary which her flabbergasted grown children come to read after her passing, gaining them a greater understanding of their mother and of themselves.
