125 minsOverview
From the sight of a police officer this movie depicts the life in New York's infamous South Bronx. In the center is "Fort Apache", as the officers call their police station, which really seems like an outpost in enemy's country. The story follows officer Murphy, who seems to be a tuff cynic, but in truth he's a moralist with a sense for justice.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raw, unglamorous portrait of burned-out cops grinding through urban decay, where idealism collides with the brutal realities of policing a neighborhood society has abandoned. Murphy emerges as the moral center of a system that seems fundamentally compromised.
