ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller117 min
On suspension from the SFPD, Clint Eastwood’s Harry Callahan is sent down the Northern California coast to investigate a series of killings linked to a rape years earlier. The trail leads him toward a woman still living with the aftermath of that attack, with Sondra Locke opposite Eastwood as the guarded figure at the center of the case. Pat Hingle returns as Harry’s superior as Callahan works outside the usual rules, moving between San Francisco police pressure and a smaller coastal town where revenge has turned into murder.
