16 Blocks

Because he's a burnt-out alcoholic with a gammy leg, detective Jack Mosley (Willis) is assigned to all the mundane jobs. Today, he is charged with bringing a fast-talking stellar witness Eddie Bunker (Def) sixteen blocks from jail to the courthouse where he has to testify. Stopping off to buy some grog, two armed men try to kill Eddie but Mosley reacts quickly and saves him by dragging him into a nearby bar. When detectives arrive, including Mosley's ex-partner Frank (Morse) to take Eddie off his hands, Mosley realises that they plan to kill him and that Eddie's testimonial will put a lot of dirty cops behind bars. Taking matters into his own hands, Mosley escapes with Eddie and a cat and mouse chase through the streets ensues as the unlikely pair duck in and out of buildings to avoid the killer cops.
