One of the biggest psychological thrillers of the 1980s.
Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) is a happily married man and high-flying lawyer living the dream in New York City. When his wife, Beth (Anne Archer), and their young daughter, Ellen (Ellen Latzen), head to the country for a break, Dan succumbs to the sexual charms of work colleague, Alex (Glenn Close). The weekend ends, and so does the fling – for Dan. Alex, on the other hand, sees this as the start of something else.
This film not only took the box office by storm; it spawned a host of rip-offs, was nominated for six Academy Awards, introduced the term 'bunny boiler' into our lexicon and had a generation of men quaking in boots. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
Featuring a pre-film presentation by Emma Westwood.
