Sylvester Stallone and Billy Dee Williams are two of NYC’s finest super-cops in Nighthawks, handily taking down the worst scum on the beat and always watching each other’s back. But chasing down the city’s muggers and vandals looks like nothing when an international terrorist (Rutger Hauer, at his sinister best) targets the Big Apple for his next attack. The two of them are out of their depth going after the ruthless, tactical bomber, who’s disguised by plastic surgery. But with a little training from an INTERPOL expert, these two crime fighters emerge as bona fide counter terrorist operatives ready to save their city in this high stakes action thriller.
“An exciting cops and killers yarn with Sylvester Stallone to root for and cold-blooded Rutger Hauer to hate.” – Variety
“This very effective thriller features a chilling performance by Hauer as the emotionless killing machine. Stallone and Williams are also credible, and the film makes good use of its New York locations.” – TV Guide
