English Summary:
To Live and Die in L.A. is a 1985 American neo-noir action thriller film directed by William Friedkin and based on the novel by former U.S. Secret Service agent Gerald Petievich, who co-wrote the screenplay with Friedkin. The film features William Petersen, Willem Dafoe and John Pankow among others. Wang Chung composed and performed the original music soundtrack. The film tells the story of the lengths to which two Secret Service agents go to arrest a counterfeiter.
Richard Chance and Jimmy Hart are United States Secret Service agents assigned as counterfeiting investigators in its Los Angeles field office. Chance has a reputation for reckless behavior, while Hart is three days away from retirement. Alone, Hart stakes out a warehouse in the desert thought to be a print house of counterfeiter Rick Masters. After Masters and Jack, his bodyguard, kill Hart, Chance explains to his new partner, John Vukovich, that he will take Masters down no matter what.
Hungarian Summary:
Rick, azaz "becsületes" nevén Eric Masters a pénzhamisítás fortélyainak zsenije, aki már jó ideje űzi sötét mesterségét. Ráadásul a busás haszon reményében attól sem riad vissza, hogy gyilkoljon, legyen szó akár ellenfeleiről, akár bűntársairól. A bűnöző, aki már jó ideje folytat macska-egér játékot a törvénnyel, és eddig mindig sikerült kereket oldania, most embereire akad. Két mindenre elszánt üldöző: Chance és Vukovich szövetségi ügynök liheg vérebként a nyomában, s kezdetét veszi a halálos fogócska a velejéig romlott hamisító és a két bosszúra szomjas nyomozó között.
