Dragnet

The equally strait-laced and "by-the-book" nephew of Joe Friday must work with his more laid-back partner to solve a mystery.

Details

In the 1987 film Dragnet, Jack Webb's iconic character Joe Friday returns, but this time it's his by-the-book nephew, also named Joe Friday (played by Dan Aykroyd), who takes the lead. Teamed up with Detective Pep Streebek (Tom Hanks), a more relaxed and unorthodox officer, they are tasked with unraveling a baffling mystery in Los Angeles.

The film offers a hilarious blend of comedy and crime-solving as the odd duo crosses paths with an eccentric cult, The P.A.G.A.N (People Against Goodness and Normalcy), who are notorious for their outrageous activities. As they delve deeper into the case, Joe Friday and Detective Pep Streebek find themselves on a wild chase to prevent a major crime.

Dragnet is a clever homage to the original 1950s television series and successfully captures the essence of the classic police procedural while injecting it with Aykroyd's signature humor. His deadpan delivery perfectly complements the charismatic performance by Hanks, resulting in humorous banter and memorable one-liners.

With its mix of satire and action, Dragnet keeps audiences entertained throughout. Whether you're a fan of the original series or just looking for an amusing 80s comedy, this classic film is sure to satisfy. Join Joe Friday and Pep Streebek on a thrilling and comical ride through the underbelly of Los Angeles in Dragnet.
