Disclosure is a 1994 thriller directed by Barry Levinson, starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. It is based on Michael Crichton's novel of the same name. The cast also includes Donald Sutherland, Rosemary Forsyth and Dennis Miller. Like so many of Levinson's films from Diner to Liberty Heights , Ralph Tabakin appears, this time as an Elevator Attendant. The film is a combination mystery and thriller about office politics and intrigue in the computer industry in the mid-1990s. The main focus of the story, from which the film and book take their titles, is the issue of sexual harassment.... The film invites viewers to critically examine topics such as the ease with which allegations of sexual harassment can destroy one's career and whether a double standard exists when such allegations are levied by men or women. The Bollywood movie Aitraaz is heavily inspired by Disclosure. Seattle software company DigiCom is about to merge with a publishing company, and company founder and president Bob Garvin is about to retire. Tom Sanders , head of manufacturing, expects to be promoted to run DigiCom after the merger.
