The movie has a typical Faustian plotline. Elliot - played by Brendan Fraser - is offered seven wishes by Satan (Elizabeth Hurley in a very interesting take on the Mephisto character) in exchange for his soul. He agrees, has a whole lot of (mis)adventures, and, at the end gives up his final wish in a selfless act. In doing so, he voids his contract and is redeemed. (This has some similarities to Goethe's version of Faust, since the Faust character is redeemed).
I've attached a link for the trailer, which you can find here.
