''[[The Hand That Rocks the Cradle]]'' is a 1992 American thriller about a vengeful nanny out to destroy a naïve woman and steal her family.
 
Claire Bartel (Annabella Sciorra) is pregnant with her second child. At a routine checkup, Claire is molested by an obstetrician, Dr. Victor Mott (John de Lancie), and when Claire tells her husband (Matt [[Mc Coy]]McCoy), the couple decide to report the incident to the authorities. Four more women come forward to corroborate the Bartels' story and Dr. Mott commits suicide.
 
Dr. Mott's widow (Rebecca De Mornay), after losing her child from the stress of her husband's suicide, vows revenge on Claire's family, and sets herself up as a nanny that the family hires, not knowing her true identity. Now calling herself Peyton Flanders, Mrs. Mott begins working covertly to bring the family down.
