Private Law Action

In Los Angeles in April 1992, the racial atmosphere was very strong. At that time, there was a case that caused public riots that shocked the United States: four white police officers were acquitted of beating a black man. This film tells the story of what happened in the police station a few days before the sentencing. The Los Angeles Police Department's elite Special Investigations Team took on a high-profile case of four murders. During this period, police detective Elton Perry (played by Kurt Russell) tells newcomer Bobby Tedrew (played by Scott Speedman) about various corrupt and dark phenomena in the police station; and the black police officer Hao Lan (played by Ving Rhames) is also extremely dissatisfied with the police station and is determined to get to the bottom of it. In this way, a few police officers stick to their conscience and justice in an environment full of corruption. The film exposed the internal corruption, extortion, torture and other internal affairs of the Los Angeles Police Department at that time. These intricate factors eventually triggered civil riots that shocked the United States.
