Basic Instinct

A brutal murder. A brilliant killer. A cop who can’t resist the danger. An incendiary thriller from director Paul Verhoeven and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, Basic Instinct is an absolute sizzler, one of the most discussed and imitated films of the decade, a sleek firebomb of sex & death, icepick chills and intoxicating thrills. In San Francisco, a homicide detective becomes involved with the beautiful crime novelist who could be his suspect. Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone star.
