Fort Apache, the Bronx
★ 6.5/10•1981•2h 5m•R•Crime•Drama•Action

No cowboys, no Indians, no cavalry to the rescue, only a cop.

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 tough cynic, but in truth he's a moralist with a sense for justice.
