Gus Van Sant's black comedy stars Nicole Kidman as Suzanne Stone, the cold-eyed career woman who will do whatever it takes to get where she wants to get, who schmoozes a television celebrity even while on her honeymoon with husband Larry. She wants that career and, back in Little Hope, New Hampshire, there's a cable station where, if being the lowly weather girl is the route to power, then so be it. Railroading a story onto air, she recruits three high school drop-outs who become her willing stooges as she schemes her way to the top but when Larry wants to start a family, she has to persuade them to remove the last obstacle in her path for stardom, even if that means a court appearance.
To Die For is a Film programme that first aired in 1995 and has been classified a 15 certificate.
