No, a screenplay is the written script for a movie or television show that includes dialogue, actions, and scene descriptions. Whereas a plot refers to the sequence of events that make up the story, including character actions and their consequences. The screenplay tells the story through dialogue and visual descriptions, while the plot is the overall structure and development of the narrative.
