[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Husband and wife David and Diana Murphy (Harrelson and Moore) are in Las Vegas in an attempt to win money to cover David's real estate investment. While in Las Vegas they encounter billionaire John Gage (Redford). John falls in love with Diana, and eventually offers one million dollars to David for a night with Diana. After a difficult night, David and Diana decide together to take up the deal, and the contract is signed the next day. He and Diana figure this a great way to test their "invincible" love.

David and Diana separate as a result of accepting the deal. At first Diana is not interested in John's continued advances. Eventually she consents to see him and a relationship develops. When Diana finally files for divorce, David makes one final attempt to win her back.

John sees the way Diana looks at David and realizes she will never look at him that way, even though she is choosing to stay with him. He gives her the impression that she is the latest in a long line of "million dollar girls". She leaves John and returns to David at the end of the movie.
