E. L. Doctorow világhírű regényét az Oscar-díjas cseh származású rendező, Milos Forman varázsolta hasonlóan remekmívű filmmé. A múlt század elején Amerikát meghódító szaggatott, improvizatív muzsika, a ragtime ütemére kavarognak a korszak jellegzetes figurái. Tanúi leszünk, amint egy önfejű milliomos csemete emberek százai előtt végez felesége korábbi szeretőjével, a neves építésszel, majd pillanatnyi elmezavarra hivatkozva elkerüli a büntetést. Szemünk előtt hullik darabokra egy hagyományos amerikai mintacsalád, ahol mindenki kedvenc „Öcsikéje” terroristának áll. Láthatjuk, amint a koldusszegény, angolul alig tudó kelet-európai zsidó bevándorló – porosz nemesi művésznéven – a némafilm egyik meghatározó rendezőjévé válik. És mindeközben ifjabb Coalhouse Walker, a szépreményű fekete bőrű zongorista folytatja elszánt küzdelmét az őt megalázó tűzoltóparancsnok ellen, melynek eredményeként ropognak a fegyverek New York utcáin
