Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas ignite the screen with passion as an Internal Affairs sergeant and a congresswoman who become entangled in a shocking mystery - and an unexpected romance - after their spouses are killed in a plane crash together.
 


Editor's Note

Director Sydney Pollack explores what happens when the worlds of Dutch Van Den Broeck, a tough internal affairs cop, and Kay Chandler, a congresswoman embroiled in her reelection campaign, collide as a result of a plane crash that kills both of their spouses. When it is revealed that the dearly departed were engaged in a licentious affair together, the survivors are left with the daunting task of rebuilding their shattered lives.


Plot Summary

Sydney Pollack directs this dark drama in which Harrison Ford plays Dutch Van Den Broeck, a tough internal affairs cop who takes pride in not missing a thing. Dutch is brought down suddenly when he discovers that his wife, Peyton, who was supposed to be on an assignment shooting a magazine spread, has been killed in a plane crash and was found to be traveling with a man whom she never mentioned. Meanwhile, Kay Chandler (Kristin Scott Thomas), a congresswoman with a teenage daughter, embroiled in her reelection campaign, discovers that her husband, Cullen, was on board with Dutch's wife. Each of them soon comes across mysterious keys that lead them to the places that their former spouses met on vacation and in the city. They are then forced to view the remains of their dearly departeds licentious affair. Confused and desperate for more answers, the two survivors lean on one another and attempt the daunting task of rebuilding their shattered lives while untangling a mysterious web of betrayal and danger. The screenplay is based on the novel by Warren Adler.

4 of 5 A special touching story Thursday, November 27, 2003
Gribben from Berlin  

I saw it yesterday, boy how I love the acting of Kristin Scott Thomas. Harrison is way out of line, but Kristin takes it all.

2 of 5 Disappointing Saturday, March 04, 2000
John Dog from New York, NY  
Disappointing is the only way to describe this moving. Both Kristen and Harrison are wonderful actors, but this movie was cloying and annoying and much too long. Their relationship and all of their emotions were completely artificial. This not because of their acting ability, but because of the miserably poor plot.
