'The Prodigal Son' is a full length feature film directed by Paul Michael Glaser of Starsky & Hutch fame, and once again stars Hollywood favourites Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson as Ricardo Tubbs and Sonny Crockett the reformers, the idealistic Miami Cops.
Tubbs and Crockett are assigned to a mission in Bogota, Columbia; a country whose greatest exports are illegal and where a two billion dollar industry is run by a couple of crazed indians.
However, when it is discovered that the contraband from their carefully planned ambush has mysteriously failed to arrive at the police lock-up, Crockett and Tubbs find themselves in a hi-tech world of New York City.
The New York cops are very hostile and as the drug related territorial killings increase, Crockett and Tubbs, dressed in their Hugo Boss suits and Versace shirts, find themselves further and further involved in a evil web of corruption, and heading for the danger zone.
Can they bust the biggest drug trafficking empire from a Third World country?
