Adapted from the novel by Vladimir Nabokov (previously filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1962), Lolita stars Jeremy Irons as Humbert Humbert, a college literature professor. In early adolescence, Humbert fell hopelessly and tragically in love with a girl his own age, and, as he grew into adulthood, he never lost his obsession with nymphets, teenagers who walk a fine line between being a girl and a woman. While looking for a place to live after securing a new teaching position, he meets Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith), a pretentious and annoying woman who seems desperately lonely and is obviously attracted to Humbert. Humbert pays her little mind until he meets her 13-year-old daughter Lolita (Dominique Swain), the image of the girl that Humbert once loved. Humbert moves into the Haze home as a boarder and eventually marries Charlotte in order to be closer to Lolita. When Charlotte finds out about Humbert's attraction to her daughter, she flees the house in a rage, only to be killed in an auto accident. Without telling Lolita of her mother's fate, Humbert takes her on a cross-country auto trip, where their relationship begins to move beyond the traditional boundaries of stepfather and step-daughter. Lolita proved to be controversial in the United States due to its clear (if not explicit) depiction of sex between a middle-aged man and an underaged girl; no major studio was willing to release it in America, and it finally had its U.S. premiere on the Showtime cable network. This version, directed by Adrian Lyne, was publicized as being more faithful to Nabokov's book than Stanley Kubrick's adaptation (which was scripted by Nabokov himself); however, it manages to be closer to the letter of the novel without capturing its spirit and tone as well as Kubrick did.

Unlike Stanley Kubrick's 1962 version, Lyne remained close to the original story of sophisticated European literature professor Humbert Humbert (Jeremy Irons), an outwardly genteel man who is inwardly obsessed with a tragic adolescent first love. He comes to the U.S. to take a job in New England and decides to board at the home of the endlessly chatty widow Haze (Melanie Griffith) after he spies her beautiful pre-teen daughter Lolita (Dominique Swain) cavorting in the yard. Lolita reminds Humbert of Anabel, his lost love. He becomes so obsessed with having Lolita that he marries her mother, a woman he despises. One day his wife reads his diary, learns the truth and is accidentally killed while trying to get revenge. Humbert does not tell Lolita when he picks her up at summer camp. Instead he takes her on the road. They become lovers, but their relationship is stormy, for Lolita is manipulative and demanding, and she plays sexual games.
