Axel Foley (EddieMurphy) is a hip, street-smart detective in early 1980s Detroit; as something of a [[CowboyCop loose cannon]], he's not well respected by DaChief, but the other guys on the force love him. One day, an old friend of his visits -- then ends up killed by hitmen just outside Axel's apartment. Despite it not being his case, Axel is determined to find out what happened, and follows the killers' trail back to Beverly Hills, California.
