Walter Hill’s raucous odd-couple/buddy cop movie was a massive hit, a genre-defining template-setter that launched comedian Eddie Murphy to superstardom. Nick Nolte is Inspector Jack Cates, a grizzled cop looking for revenge against two escaped cop killers. Murphy is Reggie Hammond, a convicted hustler currently serving time, who may hold a valuable lead on where to find the criminals. In order to catch the perps, Cates has Hammond released into his custody for 48 hours, beginning a race against time — and a clash of personalities and prejudices for the cop-con team — in a plan that is so crazy it just might work.
