Magnum Force Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Ted Post
Genres: Action
Rating:
The second Dirty_Harry movie, Magnum Force concerns itself with a vigilante group that has targeted notorious scofflaws for extermination. When a prominent gang boss or drug-runner is set free by the airheaded liberal courts, a covert group of "avengers" is soon on hand to blow the miscreant to bits. While detective Dirty Harry Callahan (Clint_Eastwood) is no great friend of civil liberties, he is dead set against wholesale murder as a solution to legal loopholes. Discovering that all the killings have been committed by the same weapon, Callahan reaches the conclusion that his on-the-edge partner, Charlie McCoy (Mitchell_Ryan), is responsible. But the answer is less transparent than that, as Harry learns almost at the cost of his own life. Co-scripted by John_Milius and Michael_Cimino, Magnum Force was followed by three additional Dirty_Harry installments: The_Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988).
