 Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mike Newell (Donnie Brasco), Dance With A Stranger is based on the haunting true story of the last woman to be hanged in England and her fateful journey to the gallows.
 When Ruth Ellis (Miranda Richardson, The Crying Game) meets handsome young racing driver David Blakely (Rupert Everett, My Best Friend's Wedding) she is bowled over by his youthful enthusiasm and lavish gifts. Seduced by Blakely's charms and wily ways Ellis embarks on an extravagant affair that raises the eyebrows of several colleagues including close friend and would-be-lover Desmond Cussen (Ian Holm, Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of the Ring).
 
 When the affair suddenly turns cold and Blakely's affections are no longer forthcoming Ellis decides to take the matter into her own hands with drastic results.
