'The Edge'

Scene from this movie In other words, when a middle-aged billionaire intellectual called Charles and a cocksure fashion photographer named Bob find themselves dumped in the Alaskan wilderness, how does this dilemma intensify their ongoing conflict? That conflict surfaces moments before their float plane crashes into a mountain river. Without warning, Charles leans over to Bob and asks, very quietly, "So how do you plan on killing me?"

We know what Charles is talking about. The soft-spoken, well-read billionaire is married to Mickey, a leggy, much younger fashion model who is waiting at their cabin for the men to return. Charles has two impressive attributes: money and intelligence. It's clear which of these qualities the rather superficial Mickey admires. She's up here, too, as Bob's model in a rugged fashion shoot. Charles has it all figured out--or thinks he does. Bob's interested in Mickey's body and Charles's money. -- Desson Howe
