Fatal Attraction
DramaThriller119 min
After a brief affair with a colleague, married attorney Dan Gallagher finds that what he meant as a secret fling is turning into a siege on his home life. Michael Douglas is Dan, trying to contain the damage as Glenn Close’s Alex Forrest keeps calling, showing up, and refusing to let the relationship end on his terms. Anne Archer appears as Beth, Dan’s wife, as the pressure shifts from private deception to danger aimed at the family. Adrian Lyne’s film keeps its focus on obsession, control, and the way one reckless decision spills into every corner of a Manhattan professional’s life.
