Red Heat

The 1988 American crime action film "Red Heat," directed by Walter Hill, follows Soviet police captain Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) as he pursues Georgian drug kingpin Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross), who is attempting to establish cocaine distribution from the U.S. to the USSR. After Rostavili kills Danko's partner and flees to Chicago, Danko travels there and is compelled to work with local detective Art Ridzik (James Belushi). Despite cultural differences and contrasting approaches, Danko and Ridzik collaborate to apprehend Rostavili. The film blends action and comedy elements, exploring themes of international cooperation and cultural contrasts during the thaw in U.S.-Soviet relations.
