Derailed

Derailed is a 2005 thriller film directed by Mikael Salomon and written by James Siegel. The movie follows the story of Charles Schine (Clive Owen), a successful advertising executive who lives with his wife Deanna (Melissa George) and their daughter Amy, who suffers from type 1 diabetes. On a commuter train to work one morning, Charles meets Lucinda Harris (Jennifer Aniston), a financial advisor who is also married with a daughter. A mutual attraction develops, and the two begin meeting frequently, eventually deciding to consummate their affair in a run-down hotel. However, their plans are interrupted when an armed man, Philippe LaRoche (Vincent Cassel), bursts into the hotel room and brutally rapes Lucinda while beating Charles. To avoid their spouses learning about their affair, Charles and Lucinda agree not to report the crime and go their separate ways. Days later, LaRoche contacts Charles, threatening to kill his family if he doesn't pay him $20,000. A month later, LaRoche demands $100,000, forcing Charles to turn to his work colleague Winston, an ex-con who works as a repairman in his building, for help. Winston suggests that Charles and Lucinda should work together to gather evidence against LaRoche, but things take a dangerous turn when LaRoche discovers their plan and starts stalking them. As the story unfolds, Charles and Lucinda find themselves trapped in a game of cat and mouse with LaRoche, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. The movie takes a thrilling turn as Charles and Lucinda must use all their wits to stay one step ahead of LaRoche and protect their families from harm.
