Moscow’s toughest detective. Chicago’s craziest cop. There’s only one thing worse than making them mad. Making them partners.
Captain Ivan Danko of the Moscow Police sets a trap for Viktor Rostavili, a Georgian drug kingpin and crime lord. The ambush severely backfires; Viktor flees the Soviet Union and comes to the USA, after gunning down several other Moscow cops, including Danko’s partner.
Loudmouthed Chicago Police Department Detective-Sergeant Art Ridzik, investigates several local murders committed by Viktor’s cartel. When Viktor is arrested in Chicago, Danko is dispatched to escort him back to Moscow to face justice in the Soviet Union. Unexpectedly, Danko and Ridzik find themselves partnered together when Viktor escapes custody, gunning down Ridzik’s partner in the process. Danko and Ridzik pursue Viktor and his henchmen around Chicago…
“’Red Heat’ is not the first movie about a couple of very different cops, and it will not be the last, but as the formula goes this is a superior example.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Hill’s muscular, energetic direction makes what might have been just another buddy-cop thriller into an electrifying piece of escapism.” – Fantastica Daily
“If you still pine for the 80s where East vs West dominated action films, then this is an essential part of your education.” – BBC.com
