Okay, here is a plot summary for the movie "Death Trap" (often referred to as the 1982 original starring Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve):
Plot Summary:
The story centers around an elderly, reclusive playwright named Victor Michael (played by Michael Caine). He lives alone in a large, isolated house in the country. His past is troubled; he once killed a man in self-defense during a mugging, but the woman he was with at the time later recanted her testimony, leading to his acquittal but leaving him deeply scarred and fearful of being discovered.
One day, two young, would-be screenwriters, Andrew Wyler (played by Christopher Reeve) and Beverley Cole (played by Dyan Cannon), arrive at his door. They claim to be fans of his work and have come to interview him for a book about playwrights. However, their true intention is more sinister. They have devised a plot: they will force Victor to write a new play, which they will then adapt into a film. During the creative process, they intend to manipulate him and ultimately murder him. This way, they can claim the story and the resulting profits as their own, while ensuring Victor can never speak out or expose them.
Victor, perceptive and initially trusting, begins to realize their dangerous intentions. He finds himself trapped in his own home, physically isolated and facing two young men who are becoming increasingly menacing. He must use his wits, knowledge of the house, and his understanding of human psychology to outsmart them and survive their deadly game.
The film is a tense psychological thriller, largely set within the confines of the house, as Victor attempts to evade his captors and find a way to turn the tables on them.
