"Pip è un orfanello che viene preso sotto la protezione di una famiglia per bene. Inoltre inizia a frequentare Miss Havisham e la fredda figlioccia Estrella, che egli ama, ma da lontano. Miss Havisham diventa la sua benefattrice e così gli è permesso di diventare un gentiluomo, ma Pip è tormentato dal suo passato, in particolare un incontro con Magwitch nelle paludi quando era piccolo. La verità si svela quando un incendio a casa Havisham rivela tutti i segreti più nascosti."

Devenu adulte, Pip grâce à de fortes sommes qui lui sont remises par un bienfaiteur inconnu, réussit à entrer dans la petite noblesse londonienne. Il y rencontre Estella, mal mariée. Entre-temps, il retrouve son mystérieux bienfaiteur: il s'agissait de Magwitch, un forçat que Pip, de nombreuses années auparavant, avait aidé. Magwitch est à nouveau aidé par Pip, mais il sera tué par la police, alertée par une dénonciation. Pip retrouvera cependant Estella."
