48 Hours
Jack Cates (Nick Nolte, Hotel Rwanda, Cape Fear) and Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy, Shrek, Dr. Doolittle) would never be friends... but they're about to be partners. Cates is a hard-nosed cop out to avenge the deaths of two fellow officers. Hammond is a smart-aleck felon, out to retrieve the stash of Cash still hidden from his last job. In order to bring the killers to justice, Cates has to find their ex-partner - Reggie. The catch? Hammond is in the slammer. Now, Cates must use his pull to get Reggie a 48-hour parole... and make him his temporary partner.
Director Walter Hill sends Nolte and Murphy on a wild ride, setting the standard for the ultimate buddy-cop thriller. As the boys race the clock, they discover they have only one thing in common: they'd both kill to find the bad guys... if they don't kill each other first!
Another 48 Hours
Times may change... but these guys don't! Eddie Murphy (Shrek, Dr. Dolittle) and Nick Nolte (Hotel Rwanda, Cape Fear) are back on the streets in this smash sequel. Ex-con Reggie Hammond (Murphy) ha just been released from prison, and he's having his worst day ever... he's got no money, his beloved Porsche was blown to bits and someone wants him dead. Hard-nosed cop Jack Cates (Nolte) isn't having any better luck... he's accused of manslaughter in a drug bust gone wrong, and may lose his badge. Fate has pushed these unlikely partners back together... one to fight for his job, and the other for his life.
It's another car-chasing, fist-flying, shoot-em-up 48 hours in the city streets of San Francisco. And once again, Murphy and Nolte are in rare form as they team up to take the bad guys down!
