From Amy's disappearance to Nick's suspicious shed, the events of Gone Girl get pretty complicated in the movie's complex nonlinear story timeline.
The complex nonlinear narrative of Gone Girl jumps back and forth across its story timeline, gradually revealing past events that affect the action in the present. Gone Girl opens with Nick Dunne returning home on his fifth wedding anniversary to find that his wife, Amy , is missing. This opening sequence instantly launches the local police – and the audience – into the central mystery of Gone Girl. But it’s far from the first scene to take place chronologically.
February 24, 2007: Nick & Amy Get Engaged A little over two years later, on February 24, 2007, Nick and Amy become engaged to be married. Amy decides it's time to settle down, and she's happy enough with Nick to take the plunge with him. During their courtship, Amy reveals to Nick that the Amazing Amy character was an idealized version of her without any of her imperfections.
January 2011: Nick Begins An Affair With His Student In January 2011, Nick starts cheating on Amy with one of his students, Andie Fitzgerald . Engaging in an extramarital affair with another woman makes Nick even more distant in his relationship with Amy. The novel goes into more detail about Amy’s awareness of the affair. In the book, not only does Amy know Nick is cheating on her with Andie, but she also follows Andie around and stalks her social media profiles.
July 5, 2012: Amy Disappears On July 5, 2012, Nick and Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary, she goes missing. Nick comes home, and she is gone. Since he can’t get in touch with her, he eventually reports her disappearance to the police, who quickly find alarming diary entries that seem to incriminate Nick — all of these are fabricated by Amy, proving to be among Fincher’s best villains, in order to frame her husband.
