Fatal Attraction -- A married man's one night stand comes back to haunt him when that lover begins to stalk him and his family.

The year is 1947. The protagonist, Humbert HUMBERT, is a man of remarkable gifts but he also carries, concealed within him, a poisonous wound : the indelible memory of a frustrated childhood romance with Annabel. HUMBERT, a professor of French literature, travels to a small New England Town to take a teaching post...

Stylish and sexy, Fatal Attraction took audiences to terrifying new heights with its thrilling story of a casual encounter gone terribly awry. This box-office smash was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Adrian Lyne—Indecent Proposal, Flashdance). Michael Douglas plays Dan Gallagher, a New York attorney who has a tryst with seductive Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) while his wife (Anne Archer) is away. Dan later shrugs off the affair as a mistake and considers it over. But Alex won't be ignored. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever…even if it means destroying Dan's family to keep him.
