Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood stars as no-holds-barred San Francisco cop Dirty Harry Calahan in this action thriller that began a an action franchise - Dirty Harry. When detective Harry Calahan is assigned to pay extortion money to a serial murderer, the payoff goes wrong. Now with the life of a 14-year-old girl at stake, Callahan refuses to allow anything, including the law to keep him from stopping the killer.
Classic 70's cop thriller directed by Don Siegal and starring Clint Eastwood, the film turned Eastwood in to a film superstar. Dirty Harry is good hearted but mean cop, who plays by his own rules. Harry is assigned to the task of tracking down a murderous maniac and must stop him before he claims more victims. Eastwood is brilliant as the charismatic Harry, delivering plenty of punchy lines such as the famous 'Do you feel lucky punk?'. Dirty Harry grabs your attention with its fast pace, brilliantly crafted tension and plucky dialogue. Eastwood is just too cool not to respect in this film, and it's easy to see how his character blazed a trail for others of its kind. Action, good guys vs. bad guys and plenty of violence and suspense – it has all you'd expect in an entertaining thriller.
do you feel lucky?
