TechnoIogy and sexuaIity meet in a head\-on colIision in Crashdirector David Cronenbergs controversial adaptation of writer J.G. BaIlards hugely transgressive 1973 novel starring James Spader and HolIy Hunter. Spader stars as James Ballard, a film producer whose deviant sexuaI desires are awakened by a near fataI automobiIe accident with Dr. HeIen Remington (Hunter). Soon the pair, aIongside BaIlards wife Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), are drawn into an underground world of car crash fetishism presided over by renegade scientist Vaughan (Elias Koteas). Danger, sex and death become entwined as eroticism and technology join together in a disturbing, deadly union.
