Description

Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce star in this thriller directed by Curtis Hanson. In 1950s Los Angeles, Ed Exley (Pearce), Bud White (Crowe) and Jack Vincennes (Spacey) are three very different cops: Ed is ambitious and incorruptible, Bud takes pleasure in beating up criminals and Jack works as technical advisor to the television show 'Badge of Honour'. Ed earns the enmity of Bud and Jack when he testifies that they were involved in the beating of a group of civilians in police custody, but all three men become involved after a mass-murder takes place at the Nite Owl cafe.

Initially, it seems that a group of drug addicts are responsible but further investigation leads to evidence of blackmail, prostitution and a police cover-up. The cast also includes Kim Basinger, Danny DeVito and James Cromwell.
