Plot

In the dusty trails of Arizona, Deputy Sheriff Walt Coogan (Clint Eastwood), a renegade lawman with a knack for bending rules and ruffling feathers, is dispatched on a mission to the concrete jungle of New York City. His task? To retrieve an elusive prisoner, James Ringerman (Don Stroud), who slipped away from Arizona's grip. Coogan's cowboy swagger and unorthodox methods stick out like a cactus in Central Park, earning him mistaken identity as a Texan and the ridicule of the city slickers, particularly N.Y.P.D. Lieutenant McElroy (Lee J. Cobb). Coogan's patience wears thin when he discovers his quarry, Ringerman, is tucked away in Bellevue, tripping on an LSD binge. In a move as bold as it is reckless, Coogan orchestrates a premature release, only to have his plan backfire spectacularly at the airport when the cunning Ringerman gives him the slip, stealing Coogan's gun in the process. Back in Arizona, Coogan's boss, already irked by his maverick ways, is anything but surprised. Ordering the disgraced deputy home, he's content to leave the mess Coogan created to the New Yorkers. But Coogan's pride, or perhaps his bruised ego, won't allow him to retreat. Defying orders and McElroy's stern warning that he's out of his jurisdiction, Coogan plunges headfirst into the unfamiliar urban labyrinth of New York City, determined to recapture his escaped prisoner. In a world far removed from his desert home, Coogan's Bluff becomes a testament to his tenacity and grit, as he navigates the treacherous cityscape hunting for Ringerman.
