A procedural that set the standard for the endless parade of cop dramas and TV shows that followed, THE NAKED CITY follows tough detectives Dan Muldoon and Jimmy Halloran all over Manhattan as they track the killer of a beautiful model, culminating in a classic chase and shootout atop the Williamsburg Bridge. The film that spawned the popular TV series. “There are eight million stories in the naked city. This is one of them.” Come out and view the classic old-school opening.
