In 1996's neo-noir erotic crime thriller Bound, Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly star as Corky, a lesbian ex-convict, and Violet, her seductive new love interest, respectively, in a Chicago apartment building renovation. As their affair blossoms, the two women hatch a scheme to steal $2 million of Mafia money from Caesar, Violet's mobster boyfriend, with Corky using her plumbing skills to help them get close to the loot. With style and humor, Bound tells a tense, suspenseful story about desire, identity, and the power of female relationships, set against the gritty backdrop of Chicago's underworld.
