Something Wild (1986)

In the pulsating heart of New York, Charles Driggs, a yuppie on the rise as the newly promoted vice-president, crosses paths with the fiery and enigmatic "Lulu." A seemingly harmless act of dining and dashing spirals into an unexpected adventure when Lulu, intriguingly free-spirited, offers Charles a ride in her convertible. Far from a simple journey, she whisks him away from his mundane existence, plunging him into an exhilarating escapade that leaves his old life in the rearview mirror. Trading the cityscape for a motel in New Jersey, they spend a passionate night together. As dawn breaks, Lulu guides Charles further down the rabbit hole, leading him to her quaint hometown in Pennsylvania. It is here that Lulu sheds her pseudonym, revealing her true identity as "Audrey Hankel." The charade deepens when Audrey introduces Charles as her husband to her unsuspecting mother, spinning a web of deception that continues into the night. The pair venture to Audrey's high school reunion, maintaining their marital masquerade. The festive atmosphere takes a sinister turn when they encounter Audrey's ex-husband, Ray Sinclair, a volatile man freshly released from prison. Unaware of Ray's identity and history, Charles naively accepts an invitation to share a drink with him and his date, Irene. When Ray's violent nature resurfaces, he brutalizes Charles and abducts Audrey, sparking a dangerous conflict. But Charles, now ensnared in this unpredictable world, is far from ready to abandon Audrey. As the stakes rise, he must navigate through the chaos to fight for the wild heart he's grown to cherish. This thrilling journey paints a vibrant portrait of love, danger, and transformation, leaving viewers on the edge of their seat, invested in the fate of these complex characters.
