🎬 Lethal Weapon (1987)

The buddy-cop movie that redefined the genre.

Lethal Weapon is the ultimate action-packed thrill ride, blending intense drama, sharp humor, and explosive sequences. Directed by Richard Donner, this 1987 classic introduces the iconic duo of Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), a reckless, suicidal cop with a dark past, and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), a straight-laced family man nearing retirement. Their polar-opposite personalities collide when they’re paired together to solve a high-profile case involving a deadly drug-smuggling ring.

As they dive deeper into the dangerous investigation, Riggs and Murtaugh’s reluctant partnership turns into an unbreakable friendship. The film masterfully balances high-stakes action—exploding buildings, shootouts, and daring rescues—with heartfelt moments that explore loss, loyalty, and redemption.

Lethal Weapon set the standard for buddy-cop movies with its dynamic chemistry between Gibson and Glover, razor-sharp dialogue, and edge-of-your-seat excitement. With Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton’s moody score adding to the atmosphere, the film’s blend of grit and humor remains unmatched.

✨ A must-watch classic that launched a legendary franchise, Lethal Weapon is as thrilling now as it was when it first hit the screen.
