:"For the original David Hare play, see Plenty"

"Plenty" is a 1985 drama film directed by Fred Schepisi. It was adapted from David Hare's play of the same name.

The plot focuses on Susan Traherne, irreparably changed by her experiences as a fighter for the French Resistance during World War II. She is determined to achieve what she wishes in the post-war world which, after her time away, she finds trivial and inadequate, while acting with complete disregard for everybody around her.
