Encyclopedic overview

Indecent Proposal is a 1993 American erotic drama film directed by Adrian Lyne and written by Amy Holden Jones. It is based on the 1988 novel by Jack Engelhard, in which couple David and Diana Murphy's marriage is disrupted by stranger John Gage's offer of a million dollars for Diana to spend the night with him. It stars Robert Redford, Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson.

Indecent Proposal was released by Paramount Pictures on April 7, 1993. The film received a mostly negative response from critics for the contrivances and implausibilities of its story. It also sparked controversy, with feminists arguing the film's premise promotes prostitution and the treatment of women as property. Despite this, the film was a box office success and grossed nearly $267 million worldwide on a $38 million budget, becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of 1993.
