Set amidst the brutal L.A. riots and based on a James Ellroy story, director Ron Sheltons Dark Blue tells a gritty story of crime and corruption within the Los Angeles Police Department.

Kurt Russell stars as Sgt. Eldon Perry, a committed but crooked cop who will stop at nothing to rid the streets of crime.

But when the cold-blooded shootings and illegal assignments get too much for his new rookie partner, their behaviour starts to attract unwarranted attention from the Deputy Chief (Ving Rhames), a man determined to clean up the system from within.

Now with the cops turning on each other, the heat is really getting turned up.
