Story
In 'Red Heat', Captain Ivan Danko of the Moscow Police travels to Chicago after his partner is murdered by Georgian drug lord Viktor Rostavili. Ivan partners with Chicago detective Art Ridzik when Viktor escapes Russian custody during a handover in Chicago. Despite their differing personalities and methods, they join forces to hunt down Viktor, who has taken refuge with a local gang led by Alexei. Along the way, Ivan and Art clash over tactics but eventually form a reluctant respect for each other. The chase leads them through the streets of Chicago, culminating in a showdown at a construction site where Viktor's drug factory is located.
Summary
'Red Heat' (1988) is an action thriller directed by Walter Hill, set against the backdrop of the Cold War. It blends buddy cop movie tropes with international crime syndicate themes, pitting stern Russian Captain Ivan Danko against cocky Chicago detective Art Ridzik in pursuit of Georgian drug kingpin Viktor Rostavili. The film explores the cultural clashes between two law enforcement officers from different worlds, their evolving partnership, and the high-stakes chase through Chicago's streets to bring down a ruthless criminal.
