Combining
action and drama with friendship and humor, Lethal Weapon reboots the hit movie
franchise, as it follows classic cop duo Riggs (Clayne Crawford) and Murtaugh (Damon
Wayans, Sr.), who are working a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles.
Also
starring Jordana Brewster ("Fast & Furious"), and Kevin Rahm ("Bates
Motel"), Lethal Weapon premieres this Fall.
Grief-stricken
after the loss of his young wife and unborn child, ex-Navy
SEAL-turned-detective MARTIN RIGGS (Clayne Crawford, “Rectify”) moves to
California to “start over” at the LAPD. He’s paired up with ROGER MURTAUGH
(Emmy Award nominee Damon Wayans, Sr., “My Wife and Kids,” “In Living Color”),
who’s just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Riggs’
penchant for diving headfirst into the line of fire immediately clashes with
Murtaugh’s prudent, by-the-book technique. It’s clear from the moment they
meet, this partnership could be lethal. But during their first case together,
Riggs drags Murtaugh on a high-speed chase culminating inside the Long Beach
Grand Prix and into a seaport shootout with drug dealers – and despite his
protests, the older cop feels more alive than he has in years. Meanwhile, Riggs
gets a glimpse of why Murtaugh is so determined to get home safely at the end
of each day – he’s got a family and a newborn baby of his own. By the time
their investigation ends, Riggs realizes he may have found something worth
living for – a partner and friend like Murtaugh. And even Murtaugh figures this
arrangement might just work out after all. If only Riggs doesn’t get them killed first…
