Fear is a 1996 thriller film directed by James Foley, starring Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon, and William Petersen. The film also features Amy Brenneman and Alyssa Milano.

Plot

Nicole (Witherspoon) is a fairly innocent teenager, but with a rebellious side particularly directed at her father, Steve Walker (Petersen). At a rave, she meets David McCall (Wahlberg) and is swept off her feet by his sweet, polite nature. Steve, seemingly overprotective, does not like or trust David. The closer Nicole and David become, the more Steve objects, until he decides he must start taking action to stop the relationship.
