Red Heat is a high-octane, action-packed buddy cop movie that follows the story of Captain Ivan Danko, a no-nonsense Russian policeman, and Detective Art Ridzik, a wise-cracking Chicago detective, as they team up to take down a notorious Soviet drug kingpin who has fled to the United States. When Rostavili, the drug lord, kills Danko's partner and escapes to Chicago, Danko is determined to bring him to justice. Despite their differences, Danko and Ridzik must work together to track down Rostavili and prevent a massive drug shipment from entering the Soviet Union. The unlikely duo faces off against Rostavili's men in a series of intense battles, including an epic showdown on a city bus. With plenty of humor and non-stop action, Red Heat is a thrilling ride from start to finish.
