Detective Mitch Preston (Robert De Niro) is a hard-nosed "Dirty Harry"-style cop. Trey Sellars (Eddie Murphy) is just a goofball in uniform. The pair can't stand each other, but when Mitch gets into trouble for clashing with a TV cameraman, he is forced to participate in a new television reality series...with Mitch as his more-than-willing partner! "Showtime" is a ratings bonanza, but the dangerous reality of their job soon comes into play, thanks to crooks armed with a terrifying weapon. Rene Russo co-stars in this comic spoof that "displays an ingenuity, cleverness and briskness that never flags" (L.A. Times). Also with William Shatner. Directed by Tom Dey (Shanghai Noon).
