The Burning Bed

Farrah Fawcett delivers an Emmy®-nominated performance in this gut-wrenching and shocking movie about a woman who takes incendiary revenge on her brutal husband. Francine Hughes (Fawcett) marries her high-school sweetheart (Paul Le Mat) only to discover his temper erupts into violence. Urged to hang in there by her family and a broken social welfare system, she suffers continuous abuse - until desperation leads her to cross a threshold from which neither she nor her husband can ever return.
