Death Becomes Her tells the tale of two aging rivals, Madeline Ashton (Isabelle Adjani) and Ernest Menville (Bruce Willis), who are obsessed with their youthful appearances. When Madeline discovers a potion that promises eternal youth, she uses it to regain her lost beauty but dies shortly afterward. However, when she resurrects, she finds herself stuck in her emaciated state due to the effects of the potion. Meanwhile, Ernest, who had also taken the potion but hadn't died, becomes invulnerable but ages rapidly. The film follows their struggles with their appearances and a cat-and-mouse game between them.
