Lethal Weapon is the first of a series of
American movies that were released in
1987,
1989,
1992, and
1998, all starring
Mel Gibson and
Danny Glover as a mismatched pair of
Los Angeles police officers. These movies fall into the
action-
comedy genre, and are generally considered to typify the
"Buddy Cop" plot device.
The story begins in December of 1986 with the apparent suicide of Amanda Hunsaker (Jackie Swanson), the daughter of Michael Hunsacker (Tom Atkins), who is an old friend and former army buddy of LAPD Detective-Sergeant Roger Murtaugh. A veteran cop of 20 years, Roger Murtaugh gets stuck with a new partner on his 50th birthday. That partner is 37-year-old Detective-Sergeant Martin Riggs, whose wife (26) was killed in a car accident two years earlier (it is later revealed, in Weapon 2, that she was killed by Vorstedt in an attempt on his life.) As a result, Riggs is considering suicide, has become a borderline alcoholic, and has become so reckless and violent in his law-enforcement methods that he is considered a "lethal weapon". Sergeant Murtaugh is not happy about having a partner 'on the ragged edge' and 'with a death wish', but is soon indebted to his new partner for saving his life.
While investigating Amanda Hunsacker's death, the two uncover a heroin-smuggling operation organized by Vietnam War veteran special forces troops, known as 'Shadow Company', through their war-era CIA contacts in Air America - a front company used for drug smuggling from the Golden Triangle. The scheme is masterminded by the evil, ruthless General Peter McAllister (Mitchell Ryan) - the former commander of Shadow Company - and his malevolent right-hand man, Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey). Murtaugh and Riggs - both Vietnam War veterans - discover that Michael Hunsacker was "laundering" the profits through his bank, and McAllister engineered the murder of Amanda Hunsacker to keep Michael from confessing all he knows about the heroin-smuggling ring; shortly after the pair confront Michael Hunsacker, Mr. Joshua makes a surprise appearance in a helicopter and kills him.
As Riggs and Murtaugh discover more about Shadow Company's network, the increasingly violent members of Shadow Company kidnap Murtaugh's daughter Rianne to pressure him to reveal everything Michael Hunsacker had told him. Riggs, though initially captured by McAllister, frees himself and then liberates both Murtaugh and Rianne. The pair then attack Shadow Company and shoot down most of its members; McAllister perishes in a car explosion (along with his shipment of heroin) and both Riggs and Murtaugh shoot Mr. Joshua after Riggs beats him in unarmed combat on Murtaugh's front lawn.
Murtaugh and Riggs are now solid friends, and Riggs spends Christmas Day at the Murtaugh home with Roger's family; Riggs brings his dog Sam to be a friend to the Murtaugh family cat, Burbank, and gives Murtaugh a symbolic gift; an unfired 9mm hollow point bullet Riggs had been saving to commit suicide with.
