Description
The movie is about a cop, Roger Murtaugh, and his partner, Martin Riggs. Murtaugh is 50 years old and is a family man. He is less than happy to be paired with Riggs, who is a manic loner and doesn't care about living or dying. They are assigned to investigate a drug baron, "The General." The General kills Murtaugh's wife and Murtaugh is determined to bring him to justice.
Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is a family man cop who is about to
turn fifty. Cautious by nature, he is less than happy to be paired
with Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) when he is assigned to investigate
Californian drug baron 'The General' (Mitchell Ryan). Following the
death of his wife, Riggs has become a manic loner who no longer
cares whether he lives or dies; an approach which causes more than
a few problems as he and Murtaugh attempt to bring the General to
justice.
