New-York, 1941. Barton Fink, jeune dramaturge engagé, vient soudainement de connaître le succès grâce à l'une de ses pièces. Un nabab hollywoodien lui propose un alléchant contrat de scénariste pour un film sur le catch. Après un temps d'hésitation, il accepte et se retouve face à sa machine à écrire dans la chambre d'un luxueux hôtel d'Hollywood. En mal d'inspiration, Barton affronte la traditionnelle angoisse de la page blanche. Pour vaincre sa solitude, il sympathise avec son étrange voisin de chambre.
Note : le film s'inspire de la carrière de Clifford Odets, le dramaturge et scénariste à qui on doit notamment Le Grand chantage de Mackendrick et Le Grand couteau d’Aldrich.
