An untamed gypsy siren -- Carmen -- captures the heart of straight-laced army corporal Don Jose, inspiring him to desertion from his post, his family and his honor. But when another suitor -- the dashing toreador, Escamillo -- steals Carmen's affections. Don Jose is filled with a reckless rage that threatens the future of all three. With both soldier and bullfighter unwilling to relinquish his claim to her, a deadly duel of jealousy builds, fueled by the unbridled passion of their beloved Carmen.
