Plots(1)
Eddie Murphy rocketed to movie star status (and earned a Best Actor Golden Globe® nomination) in this acclaimed action comedy that pushes the limits of both genres. Nick Nolte is unforgettable as Jack Cates, a rough-edged Inspector on the hunt for two vicious cop killers. Unlikely ride-along con Reggie Hammond (Murphy) is given a 48-hour leave from prison to help Cates on the case. The laughs fly almost as much as the punches, as both men attempt two very different goals in a short amount of time. (Paramount Home Entertainment)
