Clue is a 1985 American black comedy mystery film based on the board game Clue (Cluedo outside North America). It was written and directed by Jonathan Lynn, who co-wrote the story with John Landis. It features an ensemble cast, including Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, and Lesley Ann Warren.
The film has multiple different endings. Each of three possibilities were screened at different theaters, and home media releases include all of them. The film initially received mixed reviews and performed poorly at the box office, grossing $15 million in the United States against a budget of $15 million, but later developed a cult following.
