Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Tom Sanders is a manager at a computer company in Seattle. Happily married with children, Tom had big hopes for a promotion by his boss, but it goes to Meredith Johnson, Tom's seductive ex-girlfriend, instead. Somehow Tom takes it with a grain of salt, until a personal meeting turns into a seduction when Meredith decides to relive her sexual fantasy and pick up from where they left off. Tom refuses, making Meredith frustrated. Tom's only choice; to sue for sexual harassment. But everyone believes it was the other way around and his boss wants to transfer him to another division, forcing him to lose everything. Tom discovers not only is the system rigged against him, but Meredith's going to destroy his career, and bolster her own by blaming him for a serious error of judgment on her part.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | A decade later, Demi Moore was sued for sexual harassment by the caretaker of her Idaho ranch, Lawrence Bass, who claimed that she hit on him in the same manner she used to approach Douglas' character in this film, then fired him after he rejected her advances. The case was dismissed. See more » |
| Goofs | The mediation is completely unrealistic. In a mediation, no court reporter is present to make a transcript and the lawyers do not cross-examine the opposing parties; it is not a mini-trial. In reality, the parties explain their case to the mediator and the mediator tries to get the two sides to agree on terms. See more » |

| Quotes |
Catherine Alvarez:
No means no. Isn't that what we tell women? Do men deserve less? Meredith Johnson: Well, when he really wanted to stop, he didn't seem to have any problems doing it, did he? Catherine Alvarez: And that's when you got angry. Meredith Johnson: Of course I got angry. So would anyone. Catherine Alvarez: Don't we tell women that they can stop at any point? Meredith Johnson: Haven't you ever said no and meant yes, Mrs. Alvarez? Catherine Alvarez: Up until the moment of actual penetration... Meredith Johnson: [interrupting] The point is he was willing. That tape doesn't change anything. Catherine Alvarez: The point is you controlled the meeting. You set the time. You ordered the wine. You locked the door. You demanded service and then got angry when he didn't provide it. So you decided to get even, to get rid of him with this trumped up charge. Ms. Johnson, the only thing you have proven is that a woman in power can be every bit as abusive as a man! Meredith Johnson: You wanna put me on trial here? Let's at least be honest about what it's for! I am a sexually aggressive woman. I like it. Tom knew it, and you can't handle it. It is the same damn thing since the beginning of time. Veil it, hide it, lock it up and throw away the key. We expect a woman to do a man's job, make a man's money, and then walk around with a parasol and lie down for a man to fuck her like it was still a hundred years ago? Well, no thank you! See more » |
