City Heat

Kansas City 1933. Prohibition rules and the mobs run the streets. Clint Eastwood is hard-nosed Lt. Speer, a cop with an unhealthy disrespect for Private Investigators who do things their own way. Burt Reynolds is Mike Murphy, a Private Investigator who does what he likes and doesn't mind letting Speer know it. Murphy's partner Dehl Swift (Richard Rountree), a cool, black dude with a fancy line in suits, sees a chance to retire by ripping off the local underworld kingpin and setting him up against the heavyweight from the next block. But Dehl's in too deep and when he ends playing side salad to a car bonnet, Murphy has to pick up the pieces. Prepare yourself for the most dynamic partnership in screen history as Speer and Murphy join forces, albeit grudgingly, to track down a couple of wayward mobsters up to their necks in extortion, kidnapping and murder. © Warner Bros, Inc
