Lethal Weapon

Boxoffice superstar and Academy Award-winner Mel Gibson (« Maverick, » « Braveheart ») and Danny Glover (« The Color Purple, » « Grand Canyon ») team up as LA cops in the top-grossing action movie that spawned three sequels. Directed by Richard Donner (« Superman, » « Maverick »), Gibson is a volatile, unregistered risk-taker, known as a « lethal weapon » by his colleagues. Glover is the conservative detective with a solid reputation. Forced to form an uneasy alliance, they begin to unravel the mystery of an apparent suicide that turns out to be murder — and more. The New York Times calls this « a high-voltage thriller which packs an undeniable wallop; » Gene Shalit calls it « riveting!…a pair of heroes I hope we’ll be seeing again; » and Joel Siegel says it’s « a detective thriller that just won’t quit…this one is so good it will be the standard for action films all year long! » Co-starring Academy Award-nominee Gary Busey (« The Firm, » « Under Siege »).
