An aging Charlie Chaplin looks back on his life while dictating his autobiography to an editor, tracing the path from a poor London childhood to silent-era fame, wealth, scandal, and clashes with the FBI. Robert Downey Jr. is Chaplin, moving through the actor-filmmaker's rise in Hollywood alongside figures like Dan Aykroyd's Mack Sennett. Geraldine Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's own daughter, takes the role of his mother, Hannah, as the film returns to the hardship of his early years and the turbulent personal life that followed his success.
