The boys are back in town. Nick Nolte is a cop. Eddie Murphy is a convict. They couldn't have liked each other less. They couldn't have needed each other more. And the last place they ever expected to be is on the same side. Even for 48 HRS.

Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy make one of the most unusual and entertaining teams ever in Walter Hill's roller-coaster thriller, 48 Hours. Nolte is a rough-edged cop after two vicious cop-killers. He can't do it without the help of smooth and dapper Murphy, who is serving time for a half-million dollar robbery.

This unlikely partnership trades laughs as often as punches as both pursue their separate goals: Nolte wants the villians; Murphy want his money and some much-needed female companionship. Watch for Murphy's hilarious scene in a redneck country-western bar – you'll want to see it again and again.
