Christopher Hampton adapts Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Choderlos de Laclos's 1782 novel of sexual intrigue and ruthless manipulation set in the salons and boudoirs of pre-Revolutionary France. Feeling their aristocratic world waning, the Vicomte de Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil, devise a game to test their skills as rapacious lovers. In their tenacious battle for the upper hand, they, like their innocent prey, become part of the wreckage. Filled with seduction, treachery, and passion, Les Liaisons Dangereuses leaves the audiences desiring more.
