Tango & Cash (Old Version)

Tango & Cash (1989) — DVD

Two rival cops. One dangerous conspiracy. Twice the trouble. Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell star as Los Angeles police detectives Ray Tango and Gabriel Cash, two top-performing but very different officers who are framed for murder by ruthless crime boss Yves Perret. Forced into prison alongside criminals they helped put away, the mismatched detectives must escape, clear their names and expose the conspiracy that brought them down. Explosive action, wisecracking banter and unlikely teamwork drive this high-energy buddy-cop adventure.
