The Devil Wears Prada is the film adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's bestselling 2003 "chick lit" novel of the same name.
Hoping to work her way to the New Yorker or Vanity Fair, Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway), fresh out of college, lands a plum magazine job: personal assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), who dominates the fashion world from her perch atop Runway magazine. She puts up with the eccentric and humiliating requests of her boss because, she is told, if she lasts a year in the position she will get her pick of other jobs, perhaps even the journalistic position she truly craves.
Gradually, though, Andrea adjusts to the position and its many perks, including free designer clothing and other choice accessories. She also comes to prize chance encounters with hot young writer Christian Thompson (Simon Baker), who earns her eternal gratitude when he helps her with one of her more impossible assignments. However, her family and, especially, friends are feeling neglected. Ultimately Andrea realizes she must make a choice between them and her job lest she become more like the woman she despises working for.
