American Beauty é um filme que narra a história de Lester Burnham, um homem de 43 anos que, após sua morte, conta suas últimas semanas de vida, durante as quais não tinha ideia de sua passagem iminente. Ele é marido da corretora de imóveis Carolyn Burnham e pai da estudante do ensino médio Jane Burnham.
Embora Lester e Carolyn já tenham se amado, agora apenas se toleram. Jane, uma típica flor de parede, também odeia seus pais; os três sofrem individualmente em silêncio em sua vida doméstica. Jane tenta se manter longe de seus pais.
Carolyn, relativamente nova no ramo imobiliário, quer criar a persona de sucesso para impulsionar sua carreira, aspirando à vida profissional de Buddy Kane, o rei do negócio imobiliário em seu bairro. Lester simplesmente caminha sem rumo pela vida, inclusive em seu trabalho na publicidade.
As coisas mudam para Lester quando ele se apaixona à primeira vista pela colega de classe mais experiente de Jane, Angela Hayes. Tanto Janie quanto Angela conseguem ver a infatuação sexual de Lester por Angela, que corteja tal atenção de qualquer homem como um sinal de que ela é material de modelo, ela tendo aparecido uma vez na Seventeen e é uma carreira à qual ela aspira.
A infatuação de Lester por Angela lhe dá uma visão reenergizada da vida, onde ele não se importa mais com o que os outros pensam sobre o que ele faz, exceto Angela.
Essa infatuação coincide com a mudança dos Fittses para a casa ao lado: o disciplinador homofóbico Coronel Frank Fitts, do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos EUA, que rege a casa com punho militar (esse punho sendo tanto figurativo quanto literal), sua esposa semi-comatosa Barbara Fitts e seu filho brilhante e silenciosamente subversivo de 18 anos, Ricky Fitts, que abertamente obedece às regras de seu pai enquanto nos bastidores vive por sua própria perspectiva bastante diferente.
Assim como a infatuação de Lester, Ricky imediatamente se apaixona por Jane; ele considera garotas como Angela como comuns.
A entrada de Angela e dos Fittses na vida dos Burnhams, eventualmente leva cada um dos personagens a confrontar o que realmente está em seu coração.
