Peggy (Moira Shearer) is a highly talented ballerina whose love for ballet makes her feel that she was born to dance. She participates in the ballet performance "The Red Shoes," where she plays the dancer who wears the red shoes and dances to her death. Her performance receives unanimous acclaim from the industry, and her career takes off. She then meets composer Julian (Marius Goring) and quickly falls in love. For the man she loves, Peggy sacrifices her career, but the peaceful life after marriage becomes unbearable for her; it seems that there is a magical force calling her back to the stage to dance. Listening to her inner calling, Peggy leaves Julian and returns to the stage, but gradually, she remembers the dancer she once portrayed, dancing in red shoes, and feels their images overlapping. Disturbed, Peggy suddenly realizes that what is most important in her life is not dance, but family. She rushes out of the theater to reclaim her love for Julian, but a train suddenly comes crashing down, ending her young life. The film won the Academy Award for Best Score and Best Art Direction in 1949.
