|---|
"Dirty" Harry Callahan returns and this time with a new partner - a newly appointed female inspector Kate Moore (Tyne Daly). A former Vietnam vet, Bobby Maxwell leads the People Revolutionary Strike Force, which steals a truckload of ammunitions inclding the deadly Law's missiles and threatens to blow up half of San Francisco. They kill Callahan's partner Di Georgio and kidnap the mayor, asking for a huge ransom and a safe getaway. While at loggerheads with the police chief Mckay - over his slam-bang style of functioning - Callahan fights this personal battle for his dead partner and to save the city of San Fransisco from this menace. The story moves at a blistering pace culminating in a riveting climax inside the premises of Alcatraz.
