Description:
William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, a sexy, haunting tale of desire and skullduggery that echoes 1940s film noirs but is charged with an energy and passion that could only flare in the '80s. Aided by a sultry John Barry score, Kasdan's assured directorial debut foreshadowed the emotional textures he would bring to later films The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon. Sit back and bask in this contemporary classic's wicked warmth.

Theatrical Trailer

Amazon.com essential video:
While scoring high-profile credits as a screenwriter (including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark), Lawrence Kasdan made his directorial debut with this steamy, contemporary film noir in the tradition of Double Indemnity and other classics from the 1940s. In one of his most memorable roles, William Hurt plays a Florida lawyer unwittingly drawn into a web of deceit spun by Kathleen Turner (in her screen debut) as a married socialite who plots to kill off her husband with Hurt's assistance. Kasdan's dialogue is a hoot (sometimes it borders on satire), and the sultry atmosphere is a perfect complement to the perspiration-soaked chemistry between Hurt and Turner, whose love scenes caused quite a stir when the film was released in 1981. John Barry's score sets the provocative mood, and both Ted Danson and Mickey Rourke are splendid in memorable supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon

- Body Heat
I love this movie, the music, the sounds of the voices, the one liners,
the story. I don't normally watch movies over but I have watched this over and over, the story is amazing. 1981 when I first fell in love with
William Hurt.

- Body Heat Superfan
Body Heat is one of my all time favorite movies. It captures the full impact of the steamy Florida summers, interwoven with one of the best screenplays of all time. This remastered version is fantastic!

- Chapter 1: Kathleen Turner
A bucket of ice cubes in the bath is just not enough to cool down this steamy noir. Writer-director Lawrence Kasdan's 1981 homage to Double Indemnity blows the mercury right out the top of the thermometer. Kathleen Turner is the sultry femme fatale who plays William Hurt's hapless pushover like a Stradivarius ("You aren't too smart. I like that in a man.") The combination of the Florida heat with Turner and Hurt's sexual chemistry will light your socks on fire. Outstanding support from Richard Crenna, Ted Danson, J.A. Preston and an up-and-coming character actor named Mickey Rourke. One of a handful of modern neo-noirs (e.g. Roman Polanski's Chinatown and Curtis Hanson's L.A. Confidential) that really gets it "right".

- Loved this movie
This is one of those movies that never gets old. I loved Kathleen Turner in this. The casting was excellent and the characters were great.
