Their passionate affair leads them to plot the murder of Matty's wealthy husband, Edmund, in order to be together and inherit his fortune.

Résumé
Body Heat is a 1981 erotic thriller directed by Lawrence Kasdan, set against the backdrop of a sweltering Florida heatwave. The film is a neo-noir that explores themes of infidelity, desire, and deceit through its femme fatale character, Matty Walker, played by Kathleen Turner in her debut role. With its steamy atmosphere, both literal and figurative, Body Heat is a modern reimagining of the classic noir film, Double Indemnity.
