'''''Second to Die''''' is a [[Thriller (genre)|thriller]] film released in 2002. The film stars [[Erika Eleniak]], Jerry Kroll, and [[Colleen Camp]]. Its tagline was "One murder is never enough".
==Synopsis==
Sara Bratchett (Eleniak) is a woman who thinks the [[murder]] of her husband ([[John Wesley Shipp]]) will solve all her problems. However, she realizes that it won't be enough.
Her sister, Amber, finds her diary after Sara is found dead. Through the pages, flashbacks are seen to Sara's marriage, the death of her husband, her second marriage, and a [[twist ending]] that exposes the truth behind all the relationships.
Her first husband has a "second to die" life insurance policy, where the beneficiary receives the money after both people die—in this case, both Sara and her husband.
After the plane explosion, Sara marries her husband's friend, "Scooch" Scucello. What she doesn't know is that he's involved with her neighbor, Cynthia, who is seen putting on a wig. Her wig becomes crucial later on.
"Scooch" arranges Sara's death in search of the three million dollar payout. The showdown between husband and wife ends with Sara shot dead and floating in the pool. The sister is shown reading the journal discovering that her sister is really alive and in Europe; and the movie ends with her traveling to meet her boyfriend in New York.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07JHDYPTC/ref=atv_dp_cnc_3_0|title = Watch Second to die &#124; Prime Video|website = Amazon}}</ref>
