48 Hrs.

“One cop. One con. No mercy.”

Two convicts have gone on a killing spree, and the only man who can lead Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) to the one who got away is Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy), a talker serving time who knows where the loot went. Walter Hill pairs the two like a bar fight with a punchline. Cates gets Reggie out on a 48-hour pass, and if the clock runs out first, a killer stays loose.
