In 48 B.C., Julius Caesar (Sir Rex Harrison) pursues Pompey from Pharsalia to Egypt. Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII (Richard O'Sullivan), now supreme ruler after deposing his older sister, Cleopatra VII (Dame Elizabeth Taylor), attempts to gain favor with Caesar by presenting the conquerer with the head of Pompey, borne by his governors, Pothinus (Grégoire Aslan) and Achillas (John Doucette). To win Caesar's support from her brother, Cleopatra hides herself in a rug, which Apollodorus (Cesare Danova), her servant, presents to Caesar. The Roman is immediately infatuated. Banishing Ptolemy, he declares Cleopatra Egypt's sole ruler and takes her as his mistress. A son, Caesarion (Loris Loddi), is born of their union. Caesar, however, must return to Italy. Although he is briefly reunited with Cleopatra during a magnificent reception for the Queen in Rome, Caesar is assassinated shortly thereafter, and Cleopatra returns to Egypt. When Mark Antony (Richard Burton), Caesar's protégé, beholds Cleopatra...
After the affair ends, Jeanne (Schneider) returns to the apartment to find that Paul(Brando) has moved out. In tears, she calls her boyfriend and tells him that she's found them an apartment. Tom arrives and leaves shortly, saying that they must start acting like adults, and he will find a better apartment. She leaves after closing the windows. As she walks away, Paul runs up from behind her, agreeing that the old affair is over, but telling her that the new one is just beginning. He suddenly wants to tell her everything she asked during their affair- his name, what he does, where he lives, how old he is. But Jeanne wants nothing to do with him- running away and screaming for help. Paul follows her into her apartment and asks Jeanne what her name is. As she tells him, she shoots him. Paul dies on her balcony while Jeanne cries.
