The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is a 1992 American thriller film directed by Curtis Hanson and written by Amanda Silver. The film stars Annabella Sciorra, Rebecca De Mornay, Matt McCoy, Ernie Hudson, Julianne Moore and Madeline Zima. The plot follows the pregnant wife of a Seattle obstetrician who commits suicide after he is accused of sexual misconduct by some of his patients. The shock leads the wife to miscarry, after which she poses as a nanny for one of her late husband's accusers and slowly begins to infiltrate the family. The film's title is taken from the 1865 poem by William Ross Wallace and there are several nods to the 1879 comic opera The Pirates of Penzance.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was theatrically released in the United States on January 10, 1992, by Hollywood Pictures. The film was a box office success, grossing approximately US$140 million worldwide against a budget of $11.9 million, subsequently becoming one of the year's most profitable films.[4] In the home video market, it became the top rental in July 1992,[5] and was the seventh-most rented film of 1992 in the United States.[6] In 1993, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was remade into a Bollywood film, titled Khal-Naaikaa.
