Pretty good cast, Bruce Boxleitner (Mr Melissa Gilbert), Rachel Ward, and her cousin Sela Ward. However in total it is not a superb film and its median rating of "5" on IMDb is about right.
some SPOILERS - This is a story of a man's weakness, giving in to sex with an old girlfriend, and how it can have far-reaching impacts. Rachel plays his old girlfriend, they had been rock climbers together, parted ways, he became a successful teacher, married Sela, a trial lawyer, soon to be a judge, and they had by all appearances a great marriage and a cute little girl. No jealousy here, they even invited the old girlfriend to dinner at their house.
more SPOILERS - However, things were not what they seemed. Rachel had had her husband knocked off, and now she wanted the contract killer dead. So she seduced Boxleitner, lured him back to her place when she knew the other guy would show up for sex, made Boxy get onto the fire escape where he could witness an apparent rape and her stabbing him dead in apparent self-defense. He was forced to testify, the charges were dismissed at trial, and his wife, Sela, was thoroughly pi$$ed off, for good reason. Rachel goes rock climbing, falls and dies, and the last scene has Boxy and Sela walking towards each other, their cars parked off the road, with beautiful rock formations, presumably Canyonlands N.P., in the background. We sense that he will be forgiven and his marriage will be saved.
