The film"s page
Tom Ripley, cowboy urbain américain, arpente la ville allemande de Hambourg pour son commerce de tableaux contrefaits. Il fait la connaissance de Jonathan Zimmerman, encadreur qu'il recommande à Raoul Minot, malfrat français. Celui-ci recherche un tueur à gage pour commettre un crime à Paris. Jonathan, atteint d’un cancer incurable, accepte ce marché qui pourra aider financièrement sa famille au cas où il viendrait à mourir.
Note : L’Ami américain est une adaptation de deux romans policiers de Patricia Highsmith consacrés au personnage de Tom Ripley : Ripley et les Ombres (Ripley Under Ground) paru en 1970 et Ripley s'amuse (Ripley's Game) paru en 1974.
