David Cronenberg's controversial drama examines the relationship between sex and danger. Adman James Ballard (James Spader) becomes sexually aroused by car crashes after colliding with fellow driver Dr Helen Remington (Holly Hunter). Through Helen, who shares his arousal, James meets Vaughan (Elias Koteas), who enjoys staging and causing car crashes; James then introduces his wife, Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), to Vaughan, and the two embark on a sexual relationship. Despite being held up by the BBFC for certification, the film remains uncut on video.
