Spider's Web is a 2002 American direct-to-video film directed by Paul Levine and starring Stephen Baldwin and Kari Wuhrer. The film, described as a "low-rent sex thriller",[1] was also produced by both Baldwin and Wuhrer.[2]
Wuhrer said of the film: "The pace of making this movie, it was extreme. It was the longest day imaginable".[2] Wuhrer's breast implants encapsulated during filming, which she noticed while preparing to film a nude scene, so she had them removed later that year.[3] She noted that both Levine and Baldwin were compassionate about her ordeal, and worked to continue filming in ways that would conceal the disfigurement.[3]
Plot
Clay Harding (Baldwin) recruits executive Lauren Bishop (Wuhrer) to help him steal $40 million from his father Robert Harding (George Murdock). The pair devise a plot to steal Robert's passwords and set up a dummy corporation mimicking a company that Robert is interested in buying in order to divert his funds to a Swiss bank account. Clay secretly plans to double-cross Laura and allow her to take the blame for the theft, which she realizes when she discovers that a co-worker who had engineered her being fired from her job, Harry Burnham (Benjamin King), was Clay's college classmate. Clay murders Burnham and makes it look like a suicide. However, after a series of machinations on both sides, Lauren ultimately prevails, leaving the country with access to the money and splitting it with a co-conspirator while Clay is believed to have murdered her.
