French Connection - Brennpunkt Brooklyn (1971)
"Popeye" Doyle und sein Partner Buddy Russo stellen die Speerspitze in New Yorks Antidrogenkrieg, doch der nervenaufreibende Alltag an der Straßenfront wird den kleinen Ermittlern weder gedankt, noch schlagen sich ihre Mühen in spürbaren Ergebnissen nieder. Nun aber ist Doyle besessen von dem Gedanken, einen justament in der Stadt weilenden Drahtzieher aus dem fernen Frankreich zur Strecke zu bringen. Der Cop läßt nichts - auch keine kriminellen Methoden - unversucht, um ans Ziel zu gelangen.
