Working Girl

“For anyone who's ever won. For anyone who's ever lost. And for everyone who's still in there trying.”

Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith) is a secretary from Staten Island whose big idea for a merger has somehow ended up in her boss's hands. Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver) is out of the office with a broken leg, which lets Tess quietly step into her place and run the deal herself. Under Mike Nichols's direction, her one real ally is Jack Trainer (Harrison Ford), an investment broker who knows only the version of her she has invented.
