—.A heat wave has settled over the Florida coast. The heat doesn't affect the overactive sex drive of womanizing Ned Racine, a somewhat inept Miranda Beach lawyer who has his own small law firm. Although he spies several women as possible conquests, the one he really has his sights set on is the beautiful Matty Walker, who he can tell comes from money by her appearance. She flirts with him despite his less than subtle come-ons and she thinking him simple minded. Ultimately she tells him that nothing will happen between them since she's married, her wealthy businessman husband, Edmund Walker, who comes to their home in upscale Pinehaven only on the weekends if that at all. Despite Matty playing hard to get, which turns Ned on more, the two begin a passionate affair. She stipulates he can't tell anyone of their affair, which is against the general behavior of telling his friends, public attorney Peter Lowenstein and police detective Oscar Grace.

As their affair escalates into a declaration of love, it also turns to one of greed, wanting both each other and Edmund's money. Since Matty signed a prenuptial agreement that would provide her nothing upon a divorce, they decide instead to murder Edmund. As they proceed with the plot, they encounter some unforeseen obstacles, including some the result of last minute changes to the plan by Matty without her notifying Ned beforehand. But after he is unable to heed the advice of Peter and Oscar, Ned comes to some realizations about what he's gotten himself into. By that time, it may be too late both for himself and for Matty.

—.In a small Florida town, the weather is hot. And for Ned Racine, a seedy lawyer with an overactive sex drive, things are about to get hotter. He makes a play for the intoxicating blonde he spots at an outdoor concert.

He seems to be making progress, but she disappears; yet not before he learns enough about her to find her again. He finds her in a bar.

She invites him to her place to look at her wind chimes. He sees them; she sends him away. But he knows she really wants him, and he's right. He looks inside. She's waiting for him.

There's only one thing left for a self-respecting lecher to do: throw a chair through the window. Their torrid affair has begun, and everything seems to be his idea: even when the idea is to murder her husband. The synopsis below may give away important plot points.Synopsis. Mary Ann Simpson (Kathleen Turner) and Matty Tyler (Kim Zimmer) graduate together from Wheaton High School in Illinois. According to the yearbook, Mary Ann's goal is to be rich and live in an exotic land.

She pursues her goal in a calculated, manipulative, and ruthless manner that includes a switch of identities. The following synopsis describes events in chronological order, but the viewer learns many of the events only at the end of the movie.

Mary Ann Simpson gets involved in bad things after high school, but then sets her sights on wealthy Edmund Walker (Richard Crenna). She knows Walker will not marry her if he finds out about her past.

She decides to adopt the identity of her high school classmate Matty Tyler. As Matty Tyler, she arranges to meet Edmund Walker. They get married and move to a waterfront estate in Pine Haven, Florida. Edmund travels frequently and is involved in many business dealings, including an investment in an abandoned beachfront hotel nearby.

Edmund's will leaves much of his estate to his niece. Matty Tyler Walker (the real Mary Ann) knows that if his will is invalidated for any reason, she would inherit all his estate as the surviving spouse under state law of intestacy. Matty devises a plan to murder Edmund and get all of his estate. To carry out the plan, she must find an attorney to commit the murder and forge a new, invalid will. She will then implicate the attorney as the murderer and kill him in what looks like an accident to end any further investigation. Ned Racine (William Hurt) is a slightly disreputable attorney. One of the wills he drafted was invalidated and he was sued for legal malpractice.

His best friends are prosecutor Peter Lowenstein (Ted Danson) and detective Oscar Grace (J.A. At a party, Matty Tyler Walker meets an attorney who tells her about the legal malpractice case against Ned. Matty decides that Ned is the perfect target for her scheme. Matty arranges to meet Ned and they begin a hot affair. She eventually talks Ned into murdering Edmund.

Ned gets advice on arson devices from his client Teddy Lewis (Mickey Rourke). Matty asks Ned to change Edmund's will and forge his signature. He refuses because he thinks it will attract attention. As the murder plans develop, Ned makes a surprise visit to see Matty and finds another woman meeting with Matty.

Matty introduces her as 'Mary Ann Simpson,' but unknown to Ned (or to the viewer) she is actually the real Matty Tyler. The real Matty Tyler has learned about Matty Tyler Walker's deception and is blackmailing her. Matty Tyler Walker must now alter her plans to also get rid of the real Matty. On the night Edmund is to be killed, Ned goes to Miami and checks into a motel to give himself an alibi. Ground control anthology for mac. He then drives back to Edmund and Matty's house and murders Edmund. He takes Edmund's body to the abandoned beachfront hotel and sets it on fire, hoping to make it look like Edmund tried to commit arson and was accidentally killed in the process.

While Ned is gone setting the fire, Matty telephones the front desk of Ned's motel repeatedly and asks to speak with Ned. The front desk rings Ned's room but no one answers. Matty knows that Ned is not there and that his failure to answer the telephone calls will destroy his alibi. After the murder and the fire, Ned is shocked to learn that Matty changed the will and made it appear that Ned was involved. The redrafted will is invalid and, as a result, all of Edmund's estate passes to Matty. When Edmund's estate is eventually settled, Matty sends all the money to a secret bank account overseas.

Oscar Grace and Peter Lowenstein investigate Edmund's death. They learn that Edmund's body was discovered without his glasses. If his glasses are found elsewhere, it would suggest he was murdered elsewhere and his body then taken to the hotel. They also discover the motel telephone records that show Ned did not stay in his Miami motel room the night of the death. They reluctantly begin to suspect their friend Ned. Meanwhile, Matty Tyler Walker has developed a revised plan that will get rid of both Ned and the real Matty. The first part involves a made-up story that her former housekeeper has Edmund's missing glasses and is threatening to turn them over to the police unless she is paid off.

If the glasses are kept from the police, there would still be a chance that Edmund's death would be ruled an accident rather than a homicide. The second part of the plan is to murder the real Matty and place her body in the boat house at her estate. The third part is to send Ned to the boat house on the pretext of recovering the glasses. The boat house will be rigged to explode a few seconds after the door is opened. Before Matty can fully execute her plan, Ned happens to meet the attorney who originally told Matty about him.

Ned suspects he has been set up. Then Teddy Lewis tells Ned that Matty had asked him questions about rigging a delayed explosion. Matty Tyler Walker murders the real Matty Tyler and puts her body in the boat house. She then calls Ned and tells him the housekeeper has been paid off and has left the glasses in the boat house. Matty asks Ned to go to the boat house and pick them up. Ned goes to the the boat house, carefully inspects it, and sees the trip wire on the door.

Matty arrives, expecting to find the boat house destroyed with the bodies of Ned and the real Matty inside. She is startled to see Ned alive and the boat house intact. Ned tells Matty that he has learned the truth. Matty denies it and swears that she really does love him.

To prove his suspicions are unfounded, Matty says she will go down to the boat house by herself. Matty opens the boat house door and then, unknown to Ned, secretly dives into the water and swims away. The boat house explodes a few seconds later. The dental records confirm that the real Matty Tyler's body was in the boat house.

The police believe that Matty Tyler Walker and Ned were responsible for Edmund's death and that Matty Tyler Walker was killed in the boat house fire. Ned is charged with Edmund's murder and convicted. The fake Matty retrieves the money from the overseas account and moves to an exotic land. While in prison, Ned obtains a copy of the Wheaton High School yearbook and his suspicions about the switched identities are confirmed when he sees the photos of Mary Ann and Matty.

He knows that Mary Ann Simpson/Matty Tyler Walker has succeeded in achieving her high school goal.

Plot[edit]

D.D. is in a Las Vegas bar with her milquetoast date, Osgood, When a tough-looking drunk flirts with her, then turns mean, Osgood beats him and makes him apologize. It turns out that the drunk is Nick Escalante, who had been hired to make Osgood look good.

Nick is a former soldier of fortune, lethal with his hands and an expert with sharp objects. He advertises as a 'chaperone', but is actually a bodyguard for hire. Nick's goal is to make enough money to move to Venice, Italy.

He is approached by another meek young man. Cyrus Kinnick is wealthy and claims to want someone by his side while he gambles, but what he really wants is for Nick to teach him how to be tough.

Nick is upset when his prostitute friend, Holly, is sadistically beaten while on a 'date' with Vegas high roller Danny DeMarco, who has organized crime connections. Nick agrees to help her get revenge. He uses his friendship with a local crime boss, Baby, to get access to DeMarco's hotel suite. When he asks DeMarco about Holly's suffering, DeMarco tells him that it was just a great game. When Nick requests financial restitution for Holly's injuries, DeMarco offers $20,000, but pulls a gun as Nick reaches for the cash. DeMarco orders his huge thugs, Kinlaw and Tiel, to finish Nick, but Nick proceeds to use available sharp objects, including a medallion and the razor-sharp edge of a credit card, to defeat them.

Holly arrives at DeMarco's suite and, finding him tied up, cuts the top of his penis, mocking it as small. DeMarco tries to blame Holly's treatment on his henchmen, but Kinlaw retorts that the henchmen didn't get a turn until DeMarco was done with her. Nick gives her the $20,000 and refuses Holly's offer of half the money, so she gives $10,000 to a man and asks him to give the money to Nick after she leaves Vegas.

Nick takes a liking to Kinnick, hanging out with him and giving him pointers on how to defend himself. With the money from Holly, Nick plays blackjack in a casino where his friend Cassie is a dealer. Kinnick comes to realize that the reason Nick has had so much difficulty leaving Vegas is because he is a compulsive gambler. After he wins enough money to go to Venice as planned, Nick decides it is not yet enough to retire on, returns to the casino and proceeds to lose it all.

DeMarco goes to Baby, asking permission to kill Nick, reporting that Kinlaw and Tiel are dead and lying that Nick killed them with their own guns. Baby agrees to mediate a meeting in his home. Nick tells Baby that some parts of DeMarco's story are true, but asks why he would kill with a gun. DeMarco considers it a stupid question, but Baby acknowledges that Nick never uses firearms. Nick then asks how he knows that DeMarco has a small cut on his penis. Baby says that DeMarco will have to expose his penis to prove if Nick is right. DeMarco refuses, after which Baby concludes that DeMarco killed his own thugs, to setup Nick.

DeMarco defies Baby's orders not to kill Nick. He brings more thugs to kill Nick. They find Nick at his office talking to Kinnick. Nick kills the thugs, aided by a brave intervention by Kinnick, who steps into the path of a bullet and is seriously injured. After a long chase during which Nick kills all the hired thugs, a terrified DeMarco flees back to his suite, only to find the power is off and Nick sitting somewhere in the darkness. Nick tells him that what happened to Kinlaw and Tiel is nothing compared to how Nick is now going to kill him. DeMarco shoots blindly in the dark until Nick taunts him that he now has only one bullet left. When Nick details the torture that will follow if DeMarco misses again, DeMarco kills himself.

As his new friend Kinnick recovers in the hospital, Nick is seen on a gondola in Venice.

Production[edit]

In 2000, William Goldman published his second volume of memoirs, Which Lie Did I Tell?: More Adventures in the Screen Trade. He mentioned Heat briefly, saying 'the reason you will not learn more about this baby in these pages is simple: to my knowledge, lawsuits are still flying.'^[4] He added that it was 'One of my major disasters..', with a record six directors, who '.. toiled on what was only a thirty-six-day shoot.'^[5] In 2014, he reflected, 'We had troubles, what can I tell you?'^[6]

Development[edit]

Burt Reynolds was paid $2 million ($4.7 million today) to play the lead role.^[7] In 1987, he discussed how 'I don't think Heat and Malone', another film he made shortly after, 'are the movies that are going to change my career.' He added 'at least they are serious films which people have told me I should have been doing for years. I don't know how good they are, but at least I'm taking the advice now of close friends and doing films that take me out of a car.'^[7]

Reynolds apparently initiated the project, having read the novel and calling Goldman about turning it into a film.^[7]

Robert Altman[edit]

In February 1986 it was announced Robert Altman was to direct.^[8] This was considered a surprising choice; although Altman had previously made The Long Goodbye with producer Elliot Kastner the two men had a major falling out when Altman was going to direct 92 in the Shade. However Carol Burnett encouraged Altman to work with Burt Reynolds and the director liked the star, so he accepted. According Altman's biographer Patrick McGilligan, the director 'detested the commerciality of William Goldman's script'. Altman flew to New York, met with Goldman and surprised himself by getting along with him, but the writer did not want to change the script. Altman flew to Las Vegas and used a technicality to get out of making the movie - his desired cinematographer, Pierre Mignot, could not obtain the necessary permits to work on the film so Altman withdrew.^[9]

He left the film shortly afterwards.^[10] He was replaced by Dick Richards, with whom Kastner had made Farewell My Lively.

Shooting[edit]

Richards who did not get along with Reynolds. At one stage Reynolds hit Richards and the director left the project, being replaced by Jerry Jameson. Richards later returned, only to fall from a camera crane and wind up in the hospital.^[11]

Richards later took credit as 'R.M. Richards' and distanced himself from the final product. 'I had nothing to do with the editing of the film,' he said later. 'I was one of five directors. All I did was the casting and 13 days of shooting.. I should have taken my name off it entirely.' A Directors Guild of America arbitration ruled that Richards was responsible for 41% of the finished film and Jerry Jameson 31%.^[12]

Richards later tried to sue Reynolds for $25 million for the assault, and Reynolds was ordered to pay $500,000 in damages, bitterly remarking in a 1996 interview, 'I spent $500,000 for that punch', adding, with reference to other producers and directors he had accosted, including Joel Silver, 'If I hit a guy, it's certain that he will (later) run a studio or become a huge director.'^[13]

Lionel Wigram, who went on to become the senior vice president at Warner Bros. who brought that studio into the multi-billion dollar success of the Harry Potter film series, had one of his first industry jobs as an assistant on Heat.^[14]

Joe Klecko and Pete Koch, who play DeMarco's huge goons, were both defensive linemen in the National Football League at the time the movie was filmed.

Reception[edit]

Heat grossed $2,793,214 in the United States.^[15]

Critical response[edit]

The film earned negative reviews from critics during its release and was not a success at the box office, grossing less than $3 million in ticket sales.

Roger Ebert gave the film two stars out of four and stated, 'The screenplay for Heat was written by William Goldman, one of Hollywood's top craftsmen, but he hasn't outdone himself this time. It's all recycled material from other movies - all except for some nice personal touches added by the actors. They bring style to a movie that needs it.'^[16]Walter Goodman of The New York Times wrote in his review: 'SO you think Charles Bronson is the most lethal object on two feet? That's because you haven't seen Heat'.^[17]Variety called the film a 'lukewarm actioner' and 'a muddled, violent, and sadly, humorless experience,' with a tone that 'alternates between a sad portrayal of a lonely, bitter man and a slice-'em-up crime story involving the underbelly of Vegas where police never figure in.'^[18]Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film one-and-a-half stars out of four and called it 'a pale imitation of 'The Karate Kid' with Burt as the master instructor.'^[19]Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote, 'Unfortunately, except for a couple of bright patches of dialogue by screenwriter William Goldman and a sharp performance by Peter MacNicol, this new Reynolds vehicle never builds up heat—or momentum,' adding ' 'if Reynolds keeps making clunkers like 'Heat' .. no one's going to wonder what happened to his career. No one's going to care.'^[20]

Release[edit]

Heat was released in theatres on November 12, 1986, in France, and on March 13, 1987, in the United States.^[17]

The film was released on DVD on March 4, 2003, by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment.^[21]

Legacy[edit]

Altman's relationship with Kastner inspired a line in The Player directed by Robert Altman. There is a scene were the movie executive Larry Levy (played by Tim Robbins) passes Burt Reynolds (playing himself) at a restaurant and says 'I hope there are no hard feelings. I was only working for Kastner at the time.' Kastner said that was Altman 'getting back at me, but I enjoyed it very much. I found it amusing.'^[22]

Remake[edit]

Jason Statham starred in a remake written by Goldman and directed by Simon West. Filming took place in United States in early 2013^[23] and the film was released briefly in select theaters in December 2014. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 31, 2015, by Lionsgate Home Entertainment.^[24][25]
