Private eye Joe Hallenback (Bruce Willis) is asked to protect the stripper girlfriend (Halle Berry) of a former American football pro (Damon Wayans), who has been banned from the game for gambling. As his charge's life comes under threat, Hallenbeck uncovers a trail of corruption that leads from the running of a football team to the highest corridors of power. ‘Lethal Weapon’ writer Shane Black received an unprecedented seven figure sum for his script.
