====================================================================

In the world of romantic thrillers, few films capture the raw intensity and emotional depth as skillfully as Mike Figgis' 1998 offering, 'One Night Stand'. Starring Academy Award-nominated performances from Wesley Snipes and Natasha Lyonne, this steamy drama delves into the uncharted waters of a one night stand's far-reaching consequences.

The story follows Max Carlyle (Wesley Snips), an outwardly contented husband and father who embarks on a solo trip to New York City.

It is during one fateful night in the city that fate brings him face-to-face with beautiful and enigmatic Izzy (Natasha Lyonne), setting off an intoxicating chain reaction.

As their whirlwind affair intensifies, dark secrets from both characters' pasts begin to surface.
