Description: “Bad Boys” (1995) follows the thrilling story of Miami detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey, lifelong friends tasked with recovering $100 million worth of stolen Mafia heroin. The drugs were taken from a secure police vault, leading Internal Affairs to suspect an inside job. With only five days to solve the case and prevent the department from being shut down, the duo races against time.
Mike enlists the help of his informant and ex-girlfriend, Maxine “Max” Logan, who investigates newly rich individuals as potential suspects. Max and her friend Julie Mott are hired as escorts by Eddie Dominguez, a former corrupt cop. However, their mission takes a deadly turn when Dominguez’s boss, French drug kingpin Fouchet, and his henchmen intervene. Dominguez and Max are killed, but Julie escapes.
When Julie contacts the police, she insists on speaking only to Mike. Since she has never met him, Captain Conrad Howard forces Marcus to impersonate Mike. As the investigation unfolds, Marcus and Mike must swap lives to protect Julie and continue their hunt for Fouchet. Their charade becomes increasingly challenging as Julie begins to suspect the truth.
After identifying one of Fouchet’s henchmen, Noah, the trio heads to one of his known hangouts, Club Hell. A confrontation ensues, leading to a car chase where Mike kills Noah. Despite their success, their actions are captured by a news helicopter, exposing Marcus’s involvement to his family, who were told he was temporarily reassigned to Cleveland.
The film combines action, humor, and suspense as the detectives navigate danger and deception to bring the criminals to justice.
