An Identikit collection of corrupt cops and crazed killers confronts Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan in this third film in the Dirty Harry series but are hardly a match for the no-nonsense lawman's unique talents. In a tiresome, violent tale involving a kidnapping, San Francisco becomes a shooting gallery in which the characters are set up simply to be shot down. Only Harry's new partner (played with spirit by a pre-Cagney & Lacey Tyne Daly) has any depth, but this intriguing relationship is wasted in a welter of sexist one-liners.
Plot Summary
Tough crime thriller starring Clint Eastwood and Tyne Daly. When his partner is killed, "Dirty" Harry Callahan is reluctantly teamed with female police officer Kate Moore. During their first assignment, they go in pursuit of a terrorist organisation that has kidnapped the mayor of San Francisco.
