FORT
APACHE, THE BRONX is a hard-hitting drama about a police
station in the Bronx that's more of a fortress than a
precinct house. Inside, the atmosphere of corruption and
indifference pervades the department, but two cops try
to make a difference.
Deep in the bombed-out streets of the
Bronx lies Fort Apache, the local police station, in
this hard-hitting drama that portrays the lives of two
local cops working the beat in the worst precinct in New
York. Paul Newman stars as Murphy, a loyal and ethical
cop who has been working on the force for 18 years. He
and his partner, Corelli (Ken Wahl), hit the streets
every day, facing desperate and impoverished conditions
with a combination of courage, responsibility, and
gritty humor. Despite the hardships the two men face,
they carry on with their off-duty lives, carousing at
local bars, flirting with girls, and sharing a deep
respect for one another. Murphy's developing
relationship with Isabella (Rachel Ticotin), a local
nurse, is at the heart of the film, a captivating
combination of romance, violence, and tragedy. When two
rookie cops are murdered in broad daylight, the new
police chief (Ed Asner) shakes up the force and demands
violent and reactionary measures against the local
citizens. But their extreme police actions provoke
violence and riots on the streets, and Murphy and
Corelli are forced to face the corruption and
indifference that pervades their department. A truly
moving tale of two men attempting to stay afloat in an
urban wasteland, director Daniel Petrie's film features
outstanding lead performances and an excellent
supporting cast, including Danny Aiello and Pam Grier!!
