Summary:

No one messes with Martin Riggs - unless they're looking for a fast way to die.

He's an L.A. cop, a Vietnam vet, a registered deadly weapon. The way this guy takes risks, he's probably psychotic. And definitely dangerous. Even the other cops are scared of him.

When a police detective's daughter is kidnapped by trained killers, the City of Angels becomes a living hell. It's the kind of job for a suicidal lunatic. Or a human killing machine. Riggs is both. Pity the enemy.
