48 HOURS (1982)

Jack Cates is an eccentric, albeit tough San Franciscan cop, and sole survivor of a recent shootout involving local thugs.  In pursuit of the "bad guys," Cates visits their ex-partner Reggie Hammond, and decides to spring him from jail for 48 hours, hoping the time allotted is sufficient to allow Cates to find and bust bad boys Billy and Ganz. But Jack and Reggie are anything but chums, and with a $500,000 booty at stake, many an interesting and action-packed turn makes Cates job all the harder.

The cast includes Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy, Annette O'Toole, Brion James, James Remar, David Patrick Kelly, Sonny Landham, and James Keane.

Walter Hill's "48 Hours" is a classic action adventure/comedy.

The 48 Hours Review

"48 Hours" partners two unlikely people together to track down and catch two
despicable killers, with no redeeming values. Along the way they encounter deadly fugitives,
rednecks, speeding cars, sexy women, and suddenly violent gun battles.
