劇情描述荷蘭藝術家米格倫（Han van Meegeren）教人嘆為觀止的真實人生，他因愛上知名藝評家布雷迪斯的美麗妻子尤蘭卡，從此畫作慘遭惡評。名聲重創的米格倫於是搬到南歐，專心致志報復布雷迪斯。由於維梅爾畫作，向來都由布雷迪斯負責鑑賞，米格倫於是傾全力繪製了完美的偽畫，誘使他做出錯誤的判斷。果然這些「維梅爾畫作」成功騙過了布雷迪斯，更騙過藝術界專家、賣進了博物館，其中一幅甚至還高價賣給納粹首腦戈林，從此翻轉了米格倫原本一文不名的人生……。

Talented young artist, Han van Meegeren, is a rebel in the 1920’s Dutch art scene; not because his work is avant garde, but because it is in the style of Old Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer. When he falls madly in love with Jolanka, the wife of Holland’s most important critic, he makes a powerful enemy who destroys his career. To take revenge, he sets out to produce a perfect fake Vermeer to fool the art world and humiliate his enemy. However, presented with the choice of revealing the truth and, thereby, getting his revenge or keeping quiet and winning the heart of Jolanka, he chooses for the latter. Soon he is making a fortune from his forgeries, but when a high-ranking Nazi, Hermann Goring, knocks on his door, looking to get hold of a Vermeer for his own collection, Han finds himself caught in a web of betrayal and deceit with his life spinning out of control. (based on a true story)
