Drifter Frank Chambers (Jack Nicholson), is headed nowhere. Then he drifts into a job at a roadside diner and sees his boss’ alluring young wife Cora (Jessica Lange). They are both compelled by agonising passions they can neither control or completely understand, to become lovers with savage intensity. Now Frank and Cora have a goal in life: to be together. With frenzied and reckless desperation they plot to murder Cora's husband Nick (John Colicos): there are no other solutions to their inflamed desires. Nicholson and Lange smoulder and burst into flame, capturing the eroticism and obsession of lovers, destined – and doomed – to be together. Acclaimed remake of the 1946 film based on the steamy noir novel by hard-boiled author James M. Cain.
