Jul 20, 1997 · Kathleen Turner's debut role as a seductive femme fatale in "Body Heat" is a masterpiece of film noir, a genre of night, guilt, violence and illicit passion. The film explores the themes of heat, lust, madness and murder, and evokes the personal style of its stars, especially William Hurt, who plays a cocky lawyer who is seduced by Turner's character.
During a particularly intense, humid Florida heatwave, inept and disreputable lawyer Ned Racine (William Hurt) meets Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner). Matty is married but her wealthy husband Edmund Walker (Richard Crenna) is frequently away on business. Racine and Matty begin an affair.
