"Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"San Francisco is in the grip of fear, with a maniacal sniper called Scorpio (Andrew Robinson) taking pot shots at random people, demanding a ransom to stop. Enter Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) who is given the case with his new partner Chico Gonzalez (Reni Santoni). Will Callahan get his man, or will his ability to get up the noses of the liberal city bigwigs, due to his strong arm tactics, see him pulled off the case?
Eastwood and Siegel bring the no-nonsense anti-hero out of the spaghetti western and position him in modern day (at the time) liberal America. He went on to become our favourite right wing, law unto himself detective, but he gets results damn it!
