Directed by Mark Molloy with a screenplay by Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten, the film sees our beloved Detroit lawman Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) breaking out his badge once more. His mission? To uncover a conspiracy after his daughter’s life is put in jeopardy.

They will be joining forces with Foley to once again wreak havoc in the posh neighborhoods of Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, Kevin Bacon will be stepping into the shoes of the movie’s antagonist.
