In Los Angeles, Michael Carr (Kurt Russell) and Karen Carr (Madeleine Stowe) are a yuppie couple living in an upscale part of town, and their peace of mind is upset by an intruder coming in through their skylight one night.
Ray Liotta as Officer Pete Davis
The intruder doesn’t take anything except Karen, briefly, as a hostage, before dumping her in the swimming pool and making his escape. The Carrs call in the police, one of whom, Pete Davis (Ray Liotta), takes an interest in the couple’s case. He cuts through department red tape and expedites speedy installation of a security system in the Carrs’ house.
When Michael expresses an interest in getting revenge on the intruder, Pete invites him on a “ridealong” with his partner, Roy Cole (Roger E. Mosley).
After dropping Cole off, Pete takes Michael out to arrest the man who broke into the Carrs’ house, offering Michael a chance to take some revenge, using Pete’s nightstick.
Michael declines, but Pete administers a vicious beating to the intruder, leaving Michael deeply suspicious of Pete’s mental stability. He suggests that Pete should get some professional help and, especially, stay far away from him and Karen in the future.
But Pete takes neither suggestion, instead beginning to prey on the couple, and in particular, on Karen, with whom he’s obsessed. Pete even appears in the couple’s bedroom one night while they are making love, just to “check that everything’s O.K.”
When Michael files a complaint against Pete’s unwanted attentions, Pete uses his police connections to destroy Michael’s business reputation. Encountering bemused apathy from Pete’s superiors in the LAPD, Michael turns to Cole, (who orders his partner to cease his obsessing, see a shrink or face suspension) — whom Pete then murders (blaming it on a known criminal). And then Pete frames Michael on drug charges by planting a high supply of cocaine in Michael’s and Karen’s house, leaving the way clear for Pete to move in on Karen. Read more
