Ok, Julia Roberts plays a married woman who is being beaten and subjected to extreme cruelty by her husband. She decides finally that she has to get away, and that the best way to do that is to stage her own death-so that the guy doesn't feel the need to go after her.
She does it, makes a new life for her. But there are a few clues-and the guy cottons onto the fact that she didn't in fact die, and so he goes after her.
It really, really is one of the best thrillers I ever saw. It's old now-probably fifteen years at a guess but it remains as strong as it ever was.
