The Big Easy - Der große Leichtsinn (1986)
In New Orleans, liebevoll „The Big Easy“ („Der große Leichtsinn“) genannt, nimmt man das Leben leichter als im übrigen Amerika. Auch die Polizei drückt für manche Annehmlichkeit gern ein Auge zu. Eines Tages wird die Leiche des Drogenkuriers Angelo gefunden. Der Leiter der Mordkommission Remy McSwain glaubt an eine Mafia-Fehde und würde den Fall am liebsten ungeklärt zu den Akten legen. Doch da taucht die stellvertretende Staatsanwältin Anne Osborne in seinem Büro auf. Sie hat den Auftrag, Polizeikorruption aufzudecken und McSwains Arbeit am Angelo-Fall zu beobachten.
