'Ruthless People' is a 1986 black comedy written by Dale Launer, starring Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater. It also features Bill Pullman as a supporting role in his film debut.

It was directed by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker, best known for the zany Airplane! and Naked Gun comedies. This film, by contrast, is a straight comedy bordering on farce, with very few of the innumerable sight gags, puns and jokes of the other movies.
