A young secretary (Melanie Griffith in an Oscar-nominated performance) with dreams of moving up the corporate ladder thinks that her brains will help her achieve her goals. And when she finds a job with a seemingly helpful and sympathetic boss--who`s also a woman (played by Sigourney Weaver)--it looks as if she`s on her way. But it turns out the executive is slimy and duplicitous, stealing the secretary`s clever ideas to further her own career. Now the furious secretary`s determined to get revenge--and her plan may not only propel her to the top of the heap but get her a husband too (Harrison Ford). Mike Nichols directed this workplace comedy with a light, smart touch, getting terrific performances from his excellent cast
