Charlton Heston in

"The Greatest Show on Earth"

2 Oscar Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Story

Starring: Charlton Heston, James Stewart, Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde 

Brad Braden is the no-nonsense general manager of what was at the time the world's largest performing troupe. He has a number of problems on his hands. Administrators plan to cut the season short, rather than risk losing thousands in a shaky post-war economy. Brad bargains to keep the circus on the road as long as it is making a profit, thus keeping 1400 people working. Meanwhile, two of his acts, girlfriend Holly and handsome trapeze star The Great Sebastian, engage in a fierce aerial duel to show which act is the best. Finally, a crooked sideshow promoter and his henchman are running their own schemes, and Brad has to fire them despite their threats.

Another situation — unbeknownst to Brad — involves the mysterious Buttons the Clown, who is never seen without his makeup. A woman tells Buttons that an unnamed "they" are asking questions about him. We discover that she is Buttons' mother, and that they see each other only once a year. Hints about his former life come as he gives first aid to performers and wraps bandages around a trapeze in an expert manner. Holly later finds a newspaper article about a doctor who had "mercy killed" his wife.

The competition between Holly and Sebastian develops into a romantic triangle, with both Sebastian and Brad vying for Holly as the aerialists' acts become increasingly daring and dangerous. Sebastian ignores his former girlfriend Angel, who performs in the elephant act. The duel ends when Sebastian falls after having cut his safety net away. He returns to the circus, but is unable to resume his act due to debilitating injuries. A guilt-ridden Holly professes her love for her former rival over the cold, unfeeling Brad, so a dejected Brad and Angel pair up...
