Taking the phrase "auto-eroticism" to new levels, writer/director David Cronenberg's explicit, controversial adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel stars James Spader and Holly Hunter as strangers who literally meet by accident, in a highway collision, and subsequently begin an affair that draws them into a sexual subculture of car crash enthusiasts, a world where man and machine, pain and pleasure, and even life and death come together. With Elias Koteas, Rosanna Arquette, Deborah Kara Unger.
