People were drawn to Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney). Then someone killed her. As he reconstructs the story of her rise in the worlds of business and society, Det. McPherson (Dana Andrews) finds himself captivated by the murdered woman—and then the case takes an unexpected turn. Nominated for five Academy Awards, Laura is one of film noir’s most spellbinding mysteries.
