Babel comprises of interlocking series of events which involves four different groups of strangers - an American couple on vacation, a Mexican housekeeper, a rebellious Japanese daughter and a Moroccan boys with a riffle. The lives of these people were connected and was brought together by a single gun fire in unexpected ways - that we call as 'destiny'.

Susan (Cate Blanchett) and Richard Jones (Brad Pitt) are American couple who came from vacation in Morocco to mend the pain they've suffered after the death of their third infant son. Their other two children was left in the hands of the family's housekeeper, Amelia. Meanwhile, Amelia's son is getting married in Tijuana, Mexico and can't find way on how she will attend the ceremony.

Consequently, two Moroccan boys decided to test the range of their father's riffle by shooting at a bus along the desert that accidentally hit Susan in the shoulder that almost killed her. Richard then decided to tell Amelia about their situation who already departed to attend her son's wedding in Mexico together with their children. Thus, leaving them in confusion and fear.
