Action Jackson (1988)

In the gritty streets of Detroit, we meet Jericho "Action" Jackson - a fiercely tenacious police sergeant. Once a respected lieutenant, Jackson's career took a hit when he nearly ripped the arm off Sean Dellaplane, a heinous sex offender and the son of influential car magnate, Peter Dellaplane. But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as Peter is as sinister as his progeny, harboring a dark secret beneath his industrial empire. The plot thickens when Peter cold-bloodedly murders his own wife, Patrice, and strategically plants evidence in Jackson's apartment, framing him for the terrible crime. But Patrice's absence barely impacts Peter, as he keeps his drug-dependent mistress, Sydney Ash, close, feeding her addiction with a steady supply of heroin. As local union officials start dropping like flies, Jackson begins to suspect Peter's hand behind these murders, suspecting a devious plan to control the political landscape and even selecting the future president. Bearing a grudge against Jackson over his son's incident, Peter makes it a personal mission to destroy him. With the odds stacked against him, Jackson turns to an unlikely ally - Sydney. Together, they embark on a dangerous mission to expose Peter's malevolent schemes. In this high-octane battle of power and justice, Action Jackson is ready to put everything on the line, leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of the truth.
