Fletch (1985)

In the sun-drenched sprawl of Los Angeles, Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, a relentless journalist, thrives in the pursuit of truth. Known for his pseudonym, Jane Doe, Fletch's audacious articles have toppled some of the city's most influential figures. His newest venture finds him incognito as a beach bum, diving headfirst into the murky world of drug trafficking. Fletch's life takes an unexpected turn when Alan Stanwyk, a man of wealth and power, approaches him with a chilling proposition. Stanwyk, believing himself to be on the brink of a slow, agonizing death from cancer, offers Fletch a staggering $50,000 to end his life swiftly, ensuring his wife benefits from a hefty insurance payout. Little does Stanwyk know, the man he confides in is far from a mere vagabond. With his journalistic instincts ignited, Fletch shrugs off his bum persona and plunges into a labyrinth of deception. As he uncovers that Stanwyk is in radiant health, a web of sinister connections begins to unravel. The undercurrents of beachside drug dealing, a luxurious private jet, dubious police involvement, and a highly prized piece of Utah land, all seem to lead back to Stanwyk. In this roller coaster of intrigue and danger, Fletch finds himself in a race against time to expose the truth behind Stanwyck's mysterious past, Underhill's ambiguous visa number, and the shadows that lurk beneath the glittering facade of Los Angeles. With his reputation on the line, Fletch is about to discover that when it comes to uncovering the truth, no disguise is too daring, and no secret is safe.

Fletch is a comedy movie featuring Chevy Chase and directed by Michael Ritchie.
