On the wild Yorkshire moors, the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw share a fierce, all-consuming bond that transcends social boundaries. When Catherine chooses to marry the genteel Edgar Linton for his wealth and status, Heathcliff is devastated and disappears, returning years later wealthy and bent on revenge against everyone who wronged him. His cruelty spans two generations, but even death cannot extinguish the passion between Heathcliff and Catherine.
