Tango and Cash[]
Lt. Ray Tango works for the Beverly Hills district of the LAPD as a narcotics detective, and makes a lot of money through the stock market. He is a hero cop for busting many of Yves Perret's crimal empire, making him a local celebrity.
Tango also has had a fierce rivalry with a fellow hero cop, Gabriel Cash, a lower wage and seemingly reckless cop from downtown Los Angeles, who also on the same case as Tango.
The two meet for the first time after Perret arranges for the both of them to be framed for murder. They are found with the body of an executed FBI agent and are arrested. During the trial with the incriminating evidence against them, Tango's lawyer was able to get them a plea deal with a reduced sentence in a minimum penatentary if him and Cash plea to manslaughter.
They are instead then sent to a maximum security prison where they meet all the crooks they locked away in prison. How ever before they can kill the two former cops, Matt Sokowski, the assistant warden and Cash's former commanding officer, rescues them. Sokowski recommends that they escape and provides them with a plan, but Tango opts out. When Cash tries to escape, he finds Sokowski murdered and is pursued by the guards. Tango rescues him and they head to the roof; Cash ziplines outside the prison walls, but Tango is attacked by the inmate "Face" before he can follow. Tango manages to electrocute Face by knocking him into a transformer before escaping. To clear their names, they separate; Tango tells Cash that if he needs to contact him, he can go to the Cleopatra Club and ask for "Katherine".
Tango intercepts Wyler, who admits that Requin was in charge of the setup; Wyler gets killed in a car bomb while trying to escape. Tango then tries to get in touch with his superior, Captain Schroeder to no avail. He then goes home to see his younger sister, Katherine.
After Cash aquires the tape that will clear their names, Schroder then meets up with Tango and reccomends that the both of them go find the person resposible for setting them up.
Tango and Cash apprehend Requin and trick him into telling them Perret's name. Cash's weapons expert friend Owen lets them borrow a high-tech assault vehicle and the duo storm into Perret's headquarters to confront the crime lord. However, Perret has kidnapped Katherine and starts a timer that will trigger the building's automatic self-destruct procedure. After killing Perret's core security personnel and fellow crime lords, Requin appears, holding Katherine at knifepoint. He throws her aside to fight the detectives hand-to-hand and Cash kills him. Perret appears in a hall of mirrors holding a gun to Katherine's head; both detectives pick out the correct Perret and shoot him in the forehead. They gather Katherine and barely escape as the building explodes. They joke half-seriously about Cash's desire to date Katherine as a newspaper headline announces they've been completely vindicated and return to the LAPD as heroes.
