Lord Henrys friend, society artist Basil Hallward, paints a portrait of Gray to capture the full power of his youthful beauty.

When the portrait is unveiled, Gray makes a flippant pledge: he would give anything to stay as he is in the pictureeven his soul.

Lord Henry tells Gray that having children is the beginning of the end, and after the two men visit a brothel, Gray leaves Sibyl.

Gray learns of her death the following day from her brother, James (Jim), who also reveals that Sybil was pregnant with Grays child.

Enraged, Jim tries to kill Gray before being restrained and carried off by the authorities.

His hedonistic lifestyle worsens, distancing him from a concerned Hallward.

Before long, the curse imbued within Grays portrait begins in earnest, resulting in Hallwards brutal murder after the artist reveals his secret.

Gray dismembers and dumps Hallwards body in the River Thames, but the remains are soon recovered and eventually buried.

After a 25-year absence, Gray stuns everyone at the welcoming party with his unchanged youthful appearance.

Despite Grays attempts to mislead Jim by pointing out his apparent age, Jim nevertheless deduces his true identity, but is killed by an oncoming train while pursuing Gray in the London Underground.

Meanwhile, as Gray makes arrangements to leave London with Emily, Lord Henrys suspicions are confirmed when a study of old photographs triggers a memory where he jokingly suggested that Gray exchange his soul in return for eternal youth and beauty.

As Gray attempts to convince him of the authenticity of his feelings for Emily, Lord Henry suddenly discovers the blood-stained scarf of Basil in a box.

This prompts Gray to declare that he is the personification of the life Lord Henry fantasised but dared not pursue.

Full of anger and grief, Gray attempts to strangle him but is distracted by Emilys call long enough for Lord Henry to knock him aside and expose the portrait.

Emily pleads with Gray for the key, but Gray instead confesses his love for her and turns his back as Lord Henry drags his daughter out of the burning mansion.

Resolving to end his suffering, Gray impales the painting with a poker, causing his body to age rapidly, before the attic is consumed by an explosion.

As Lord Henry leaves, the portraits eyes glow, implying that Grays soul is still alive even after his death.
