Los Angeles homicide detective Jerry Beck searches for the murderer who killed a police officer on Christmas Eve. The investigation takes Beck inside the violent world of hate groups and white supremacists, who are hatching a deadly plot to attack even more innocent people. Beck must also confront his own personal demons, including his growing problem with alcohol, if he wants to track down and stop the violent neo-Nazis before it is too late.

The action here isn't perfunctory — it's considered, with internal logic. The staging of fights and chases shows a director who knows the genre from the inside.
A well-made ride. Doesn't claim depth, but does its job honestly and without boredom.
For those who appreciate a solidly made genre film without pretensions.
Director: John Frankenheimer
