Another 48 Hrs. is a 1990 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Walter Hill and starring Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte, Brion James, Andrew Divoff, and Ed O'Ross. It is the sequel to the 1982 film 48 Hrs. Nolte reprises his role as San Francisco police officer Jack Cates, who has 48 hours to clear his name from a manslaughter charge. To do so, he again needs the help of Reggie Hammond (Murphy), who is a newly released convict. At the same time, a mastermind who calls himself the Ice Man has hired a pair of bikers to kill Reggie, while a rogue member of the gang (Divoff) is out to kill Jack for the death of his brother from the previous installment.

Plot

For the past four years, veteran San Francisco Police Inspector Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) has been after a drug kingpin who calls himself the "Ice Man." At the Hunter's Point Raceway, Jack confronts Tyrone Burroughs (Brent Jennings) and Arthur Brock (John Del Regno). Jack kills Brock in a shootout, while Burroughs escapes. Despite killing Brock in self-defense, Jack is now under investigation, because Brock's gun can't be found at the scene. Lt. Blake Wilson (Kevin Tighe) from the Internal Affairs Division refuses to believe that the Ice Man even exists. He becomes determined to prosecute Jack on a third-degree manslaughter charge. At the raceway, near where he shot Brock, Jack finds a picture that indicates that the Ice Man has put a price on the head of Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy), who is scheduled to be released from prison the next day.
