Striptease is a 1996 American black comedy film written, co-produced and directed by Andrew Bergman, and starring Demi Moore, Armand Assante, Ving Rhames, Robert Patrick and Burt Reynolds. Based on Carl Hiaasen's 1993 best-selling novel of the same name, the film centers on an FBI secretary-turned-stripper who becomes involved in both a child-custody dispute and corrupt politics.
Moore was paid a then-unprecedented $12.5 million to star in Striptease, making her the highest-paid film actress up to that time. Released theatrically on June 28, 1996, by Columbia Pictures and produced by Castle Rock Entertainment with a $50 million budget, the film grossed $33 million domestically (47th place) and $113 million worldwide. It was somewhat more successful in the subsequent video rental market. However, it was panned by critics and won six Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Picture.
