BASIC INSTINCT (1992 - R)

"Basic Instinct" is a racy murder mystery that smacks of sexual and psychological tension. This thriller will keep your pulse racing as you follow the trials of SFPD's Det. Nick Curran's quest to solve the latest homicide case in which the deadly yet enticing Catherine Trammell, psychologist and author, is the primary murder suspect. A complicated juxtaposition of personal and professional affairs gets things steamy as the plotline races with intense sexuality and mystery behind the real murder(ers) of the many crimes to follow. In "Basic Instinct" one finds there is a fine line between sex, sexuality, love, and murder, and sometimes its most thrilling to walk on all sides of the line.

The cast includes: Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, George Dzunda, Stephen Tobolowsky, Leilani Sarelle, Wayne Knight, and Jeanne Tripplehorn.

Written by: Joe Eszterhas. Directed by: Paul Verhoeven.
