Kate Miller (Angie Dickinson) visits her psychiatrist Dr Elliot (Michael Caine) and talks about the lack of fulfilment in her sex life. On the way home, she meets an anonymous man, has sex with him, and is then attacked in an elevator by a mysterious blonde woman. The one witness to the attack is prostitute Liz (Nancy Allen), who subsequently joins forces with Kate's son Peter (Keith Gordon) in an attempt to catch the culprit.

Kim Basinger plays a divorced art gallery assistant who finds herself drawn into an obsessive sexual relationship with a compelling Wall Street broker (Mickey Rourke). At first the relationship is stimulating and exciting, but as their sex games become increasingly perverse she begins to fear for her sanity. Directed by Adrian Lyne ('Indecent Proposal', 'Fatal Attraction').
