Subscribe FreeStory Synopsis
After receiving a masterpiece of a play called Deathtrap from a former student (Christopher Reeve), a highly successful Broadway playwright (Michael Caine) with a serious case of writer’s block schemes to make the play his own. With the aid of his high-strung wife (Dyan Cannon), he concocts a scheme to steal the play, murder the author and produce the play as his own. He succeeds—or does he? An engaging “who’ll-do-it” based on the stage play by Ira Levin.
