Their passionate affair leads them to plot the murder of Matty's wealthy husband, Edmund, in order to be together and inherit his fortune. The plan involves making Edmund's death seem like a natural one during the heatwave. However, their scheme begins to unravel as they struggle with the execution of their crime.
Summary

The film is a neo-noir that explores themes of infidelity, desire, and deceit through its femme fatale character, Matty Walker, played by Kathleen Turner in her debut role. With its steamy atmosphere, both literal and figurative, Body Heat is a modern reimagining of the classic noir film, Double Indemnity.
