One sheet Lethal Weapon
is a 1987 American buddy cop action film directed by Richard Donner and starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. The movie follows two mismatched Los Angeles Police Department detectives, the suicidal Martin Riggs (Gibson) and the veteran family man Roger Murtaugh (Glover), as they are partnered together and uncover a major drug-trafficking operation run by former Special Forces mercenaries. The film is credited with popularizing the "buddy cop" genre.
The movie's success led to a franchise that includes three sequels and a television series. The iconic partnership between Gibson and Glover is a highlight of the film, and the chemistry between the two actors is often cited as a key reason for its success. |
