Blue Steel (1990)

In the high-octane world of New York law enforcement, rookie NYPD officer Megan Turner finds herself thrust into a chilling predicament on her debut day. Responding single-handedly to a supermarket robbery, she fatally shoots the suspect, only to find no weapon at the scene and no witness willing to support her claim of an armed perpetrator. Suspended from duty, her career teeters on the edge of extinction. In an unexpected twist of fate, a subsequent murder investigation whisks her back to active duty as a homicide detective. The spent bullet casing from the murder scene, engraved with her name, points an eerie finger at her involvement. This murder is just the beginning of a string of killings, a series that Megan, along with fellow homicide detective Nick Mann, must unravel. An unexpected revelation comes when commodities broker Eugene Hunt, an acquaintance she met during her suspension, reveals himself as the murderer. He insinuates his presence at the initial supermarket hold-up, suggesting he escaped with the perpetrator's gun, which sparked a psychotic obsession with Megan. As the chilling cat-and-mouse game intensifies, Megan must convince her skeptical colleagues of Eugene's guilt. With no tangible evidence to present in court, she must race against time to stop Eugene's murderous spree and end his relentless psychological torment. This is the gritty world of 'Blue Steel' (1990), a maelstrom of crime, obsession, and one woman's desperate fight for justice.
