Pretty Woman (1990) is a romantic comedy directed by Garry Marshall, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. The film follows the unlikely love story between a wealthy businessman and a spirited sex worker.

Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) is a ruthless, successful businessman visiting Los Angeles for a high-stakes corporate deal. After getting lost in Hollywood, he meets Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts), a street-smart and charming sex worker. Struck by her confidence and beauty, he hires her for one night. However, impressed by her personality, he extends the arrangement for a week, asking her to accompany him to social events as his companion.

As Vivian steps into Edward’s world of luxury, she undergoes a transformation, with the help of a kindhearted hotel manager. She learns etiquette and dons designer clothes, dazzling high society. Meanwhile, Edward begins to see beyond her profession and discovers her warmth, intelligence, and independent spirit. Their relationship shifts from a business arrangement to a genuine romantic connection.

However, their differences and Edward’s initial reluctance to commit create tension. Vivian refuses to be just a kept woman, desiring real love and respect. Edward, influenced by her, reconsiders his cutthroat business tactics and personal priorities. In a grand romantic gesture, he overcomes his fears, arriving at Vivian’s apartment in a white limousine, confessing his love in a modern fairy-tale ending.
