When a deadly European terrorist surfaces in New York, an elite undercover cop is ordered to stop him by any means necessary. Sylvester Stallone is the officer at the center of the hunt, with Billy Dee Williams alongside him on the police side and Rutger Hauer bringing a cold, watchful edge to the man they’re chasing. As the case spills through subways, city streets, and crowded public spaces, the film turns into a tense cat-and-mouse pursuit, with undercover work, murder investigations, and counterterror tactics colliding in a grimy early-'80s urban landscape.
