Dirty Harry

Dirty Harry

1971

When a madman dubbed the "Scorpio killer" terrorizes San Francisco, hard-boiled cop Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) -- famous for his take-no-prisoners approach to law enforcement -- must hunt down the psycho. In the course of rescuing a kidnap victim, Harry collars Scorpio, but he walks on technicalities. Not to worry ... the maverick detective aims to nail the maniac himself.

Dirty Harry and the homicidal maniac. Harry's the one with the badge.
