What is Something Wild about? Toggle content

In this classic comedy-thriller, a conservative executive (Jeff Daniels) is kidnapped by a wild and eccentric woman (Melanie Griffith) for a weekend of adventure. But their fun quickly turns dangerous when her ex-con husband (Ray Liotta) shows up, and the trio embarks on a series of increasingly reckless escapades. As they navigate a world of crime and passion, Charlie must confront his own desires and confront the reality of his stifling yuppie life. Will he choose the freedom and excitement of Lulu's world, or return to his mundane but safe existence?
