As the film begins we meet General George S. Patton (George C. Scott) taking command of II Corps in North Africa following a major defeat. Patton is a martinet but manages to whip the defeated corps into shape, restore their morale, and lead them in the invasion of Sicily. Patton slaps a shell-shocked soldier whom he suspects of malingering, and is relieved of his command and humiliated by being forced to publicly apologize to his troops. After being restored to command of the Third Army, he plays a major role in the Battle of the Bulge and the defeat of Germany. After the Allied victory, he is relieved of his command as a result of intemperate remarks about the Soviet Union.
