## Description

Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) has a perfect life; until he risks everything when he meets Alex (Glenn Close). What begins as one mad, passionate week-end ends in a nightmare of deceit and violence when Alex refuses to be scorned.

Fatal Attraction is the ultimate thriller, gripping the audience from the start to the cataclysmic end as Alex's obsessive passion erupts into a whirlwind of hate and madness.

Michael Douglas (winner of 1988's Best Actor Academy Award) and Glenn Close are mesmerising in this terrifying story culminating in an unforgettably nerve-jolting finale.
