Quick Answer

What is Night Eyes about?

Night Eyes is a 1990 United States thriller film directed by Jag Mundhra about a security expert who is hired to monitor a rock star’s wife but becomes involved in an affair with her, leading to dangerous consequences.

Programmer's Pick

Only in early-'90s Los Angeles do security cameras, divorce drama, and a femme fatale combine for such a sultry cocktail. Night Eyes leans into its voyeuristic thrills and steamy betrayals, making security work look a lot more complicated—and a lot less safe.

Overview

In the sleek world of Los Angeles home security, Will Griffith operates a surveillance company catering to high-profile clients. His latest job takes him into the luxurious home of Brian Walker, a rock star embroiled in a heated divorce from his unfaithful wife, Nikki. Hired to install hidden cameras that will catch Nikki in the act, Will soon finds his professional boundaries tested as he grows closer to Nikki herself.

Night Eyes offers a charged blend of voyeurism, erotic tension, and danger, as one man's surveillance assignment in an opulent Beverly Hills home leads to complications that go far beyond his original mission.
