The newborn son of Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) and his wife, Katherine (Lee Remick), dies shortly after birth in Rome. Robert is coerced by Father Spiletto (Martin Benson) into substituting for the dead child an orphan whose mother died at the same moment, without telling Katherine. Out of concern for his wife's mental well-being, Robert agrees. They name the child Damien Thorn (Harvey Spencer Stephens). Soon after, Robert is named U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain.
While posted in England, Robert is plagued by several mysterious events. Damien's nanny hangs herself at his fifth birthday party and a new nanny, Mrs. Baylock (Billie Whitelaw), suddenly arrives to replace her, also bringing an evil dog with her. Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton) knows about Damien's origins
