Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry, X-Men, X2, Monster's Ball), a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she is catapulted into the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever: In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and evil. Like any wildcat, she's dangerous, elusive and untamed. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Detective Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt, TV's Law & Order, Miss Congeniality, Demolition Man), who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman — who appears to be responsible for a crime spree that is plaguing the city.
