'''''48 Hrs.''''' (pronounced 'forty-eight hours') is a 1982 American [[Buddy cop film|buddy cop]] [[action comedy film]] directed by [[Walter Hill]], from a screenplay co-written with [[Larry Gross]], [[Steven E. de Souza]] and [[Roger Spottiswoode]]. It stars [[Nick Nolte]] and [[Eddie Murphy]] (the latter in his film debut) as a cop and a convict, respectively, who team up to catch two hardened criminals. Titled after the amount of time the duo has to solve the crime, ''48 Hrs.'' was [[Joel Silver]]'s first title as a producer.
Though predated by Richard Rush's 1974 film ''[[Freebie and the Bean]]'', the film is often credited as being the first in the "[[buddy cop film|buddy cop]]" genre, later popularized by films such as ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'', ''[[Bad Boys (franchise)|Bad Boys]]'', and ''[[Rush Hour (franchise)|Rush Hour]]''. Its supporting cast features [[Annette O'Toole]], [[James Remar]], [[Frank McRae]], [[David Patrick Kelly]], [[Sonny Landham]], [[Jonathan Banks]] and [[Brion James]]. The musical score was composed by [[James Horner]].
Released by [[Paramount Pictures]] on December 8, 1982, ''48 Hrs.'' was one of the most commercially successful films of 1982,<ref name=":0" /> received widespread acclaim from critics, and launched Murphy's film career by earning him a [[Golden Globe Awards|Golden Globe Award]] nomination for [[Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actor|New Star of the Year – Actor]]. A sequel, ''[[Another 48 Hrs.]]'', was released in 1990, also directed by Walter Hill, with Nolte and Murphy reprising their roles.
==Plot==
Convicted career criminal Albert Ganz escapes from custody with the help of his accomplice Billy Bear. They travel to [[San Francisco]] and kill Henry Wong, a former associate. [[San Francisco Police Department|SFPD]] Inspector Jack Cates, accompanied by Detectives Algren and Van Zant, trace Ganz and Billy to a hotel, where they have checked in under aliases. Ganz and Billy ambush the officers. In the ensuing shootout, Ganz kills Algren and Van Zant, and escapes with Billy, taking Jack's [[S&W Model 29|service revolver]].
Armed with a replacement pistol, Jack tracks down Ganz's former partner-in-crime Reggie Hammond, who is in prison with six months to go on a three-year sentence for armed robbery. After a memorable first meeting in prison, Jack manages to get Reggie a 48-hour release into his custody so that Reggie can help Jack find Ganz and Billy. Reggie leads Jack to an apartment where Ganz's last remaining associate Luther Kelly lives. When Jack looks around, Luther fires at him, and refuses to be interrogated, so Jack arrests Luther.
That night, Reggie leads Jack to ''Torchy's'', a [[redneck]] hangout where Billy used to be a bartender. Reggie, on a challenge from Jack, shakes the bar down, using Jack's badge, single-handedly bringing the crowd under his control. They get a lead on Billy's girlfriend Casey, but they get nothing out of her, as Casey says that she threw Billy out. After tensions between Reggie and Jack finally erupt into a fistfight that's stopped by a pair of patrol officers, Reggie finally confesses that he, Ganz, Billy, Luther, and Henry had robbed a drug dealer of $500,000 some years earlier, and that the money was (and remains) stashed in the trunk of Reggie's car in a downtown parking garage. Instead of splitting the cash, Ganz sold Reggie out, resulting in his incarceration. It was also the reason why Ganz and Billy have taken Luther's girlfriend Rosalie: they want Luther to get Reggie's money in exchange for her safe return.
Luther goes and gets the car, and Jack and Reggie tail him to a [[San Francisco Municipal Railway|Muni]] station where Ganz comes to get the money. Luther, however, recognizes Jack, and Ganz and Billy escape after Billy kills a cop, while Reggie chases after Luther. Left with nothing, Jack ends up going back to the police station and waits for Reggie to call. After the call, Jack goes to Vroman's, a nightclub in the [[Fillmore District, San Francisco|Fillmore District]], to find Reggie, who has tracked Luther to a hotel across the street from Vroman's. Jack, humbled, apologizes for continuously berating and insulting Reggie. He lends Reggie some money to pay for a hotel room to have sex with Candy, a woman he's met, but as Reggie leaves the club with her, he sees Luther leave the hotel, and he alerts Jack. Luther gets onto a stolen bus driven by Billy, and hands over the money to Ganz, who fatally shoots Luther. Ganz then spots Jack and Reggie following them, and a car chase/gunfight ensues, which ends when Billy forces Jack's Cadillac through the window of a Cadillac dealership's showroom. At this point, following a heated verbal thrashing from Jack's superior, Captain Haden, Jack and Reggie are ready to resign themselves to the fact that they failed to catch Ganz.
At a local bar, Jack wonders if Billy might go back to see Casey, and use her place as a hideout. Jack and Reggie go back to Casey's place and force their way inside, and after a brief confrontation, Reggie fatally shoots Billy. Ganz escapes into a maze of alleyways, capturing Reggie. Jack approaches and shoots  Ganz in the shoulder, throwing him away from Reggie. A furious Ganz then charges at Jack, but Jack kills Ganz by shooting him six more times. Finally, Jack takes Reggie to see Candy. Jack leaves the money in Reggie's car, but asks for a loan to buy a convertible when Reggie is released, to which Reggie agrees. Jack gives Reggie a stern warning about changing his ways once he's released, and Reggie agrees to do so, while half attempting to steal Jack's lighter. The two men share a laugh before Jack drives Reggie back to the prison.

==Production==
===Development and writing===
[[Lawrence Gordon (producer)|Lawrence Gordon]] came up with the original idea for the film.<ref name="mcgilligan">{{cite news | last=McGilligan | first=Patrick | title=Walter Hill: Last Man Standing | work=Film International | url=http://www.filmint.nu/?q=node/23 | date=June 2004 | access-date=2007-11-28 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180622111507/http://filmint.nu/?q=node%2F23 | archive-date=2018-06-22 | url-status=dead }}</ref> The premise had the Governor of Louisiana's daughter kidnapped by a criminal, who strapped dynamite to her head and threatened to blow her up in 48 hours if the ransom was not met. The meanest cop goes to the worst prison in the state and gets out the most vicious criminal for his knowledge of the kidnapper who was his cellmate. Walter Hill says Gordon may have had the idea as far back as 1971 and a few writers worked on the project. In 1975 Gordon was making ''[[Hard Times (1975 film)|Hard Times]]'' with writer-director Walter Hill and editor [[Roger Spottiswoode]]. Spottiswoode wanted to direct and Hill suggested he break in by writing a script. He did a draft of ''48 Hours'' supervised by Hill for [[Columbia Pictures]], who had financed ''48 Hours''. Later [[Tracy Keenan Wynn]] worked on the script.<ref name="ghost">{{cite news|title=Ghostwriters|last=Sragow|first= Michael|newspaper= Film Comment|edition=19.2|date=Mar–Apr 1983|pages= 9–18, 80}}</ref>
The film moved from Columbia to Paramount, which wanted to do a draft for [[Clint Eastwood]]. They hired Hill to rewrite the script with Eastwood as the criminal. He did so "but when I turned it in I said that I didn't think it would work," Hill said, adding "that the best idea would be to make Richard Pryor the criminal and have someone like Eastwood play the cop. Back in '78 or '79, no one seemed to think this was such a good idea."<ref name="ghost"/> Eastwood ended up playing a criminal in ''[[Escape from Alcatraz (film)|Escape from Alcatraz]]'' instead. As a result, '' 48 Hrs.'' went into limbo for two years. However, Gordon and his co-producer [[Joel Silver]] did not forget the project. Gordon called Hill and asked him if he would make the film with Nick Nolte as Cates.<ref name="mcgilligan" /> "Paramount felt that the combination of Nick Nolte and a good black actor would be commercial," said Hill. "What happened is very simple: Richard Pryor is now an enormous movie star, and that's changed everybody's mind about black lead players."
From the start, Hill envisioned a more improvisational film than he'd ever before created. "The story is a traditional urban thriller: two terrible guys are out there and have to be brought down," he said. "But even though I enjoy working in genres, the point is always to explode them or give them a transfusion. So I made a very conscious decision to go with the elements of personality of the two players, rather than be overly genuflective to the narrative. Thrusting a white policeman and a black convict together carries so much gravity that we didn't have to beat the white-black thing to death. If it works, it's because of the actors' personalities."<ref name="ghost"/> Hill's first choice after Richard Pryor was [[Gregory Hines]]. When he was not available, Hill's then-girlfriend Hildy Gottlieb recommended her client, [[Eddie Murphy]], then best known for his work on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2007/09/hildy-gottlieb-rejoins-icm-in-mp-talent-3296/ |title=Hildy Gottlieb Rejoins ICM in MP Talent |first=Nikki |last=Finke|date=19 September 2007 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |access-date=11 July 2017}}</ref> The character of Reggie Hammond was originally named Willie Biggs, but Eddie Murphy felt that was too stereotypical of a black man's name and changed it to Reggie Hammond.
[[Steven E. de Souza]] worked on the script for a few weeks after Eddie Murphy was cast. Critic Michael Sragow says "The producers recommended de Souza to Hill because they thought he'd be good at adding a light touch to the action. Hill didn't find de Souza fast enough or his style of comic writing appropriate to the movie; he thought the writer contributed gags instead of personality touches (very few of which were used), and he just didn't develop the rapport with de Souza that he'd later have with Gross."<ref name="ghost"/> Hill brought on Larry Gross to work on the script three weeks before shooting.<ref name="gross"/> He told Gross "I've been working this fella and while I like em I know it's not gonna work out...." and called the film "a shaggy dog story.  ''[[The Defiant Ones (film)|Defiant Ones]]'' plus chuckles."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://moviecitynews.com/archived/columnists/48hrdiaries/080516_48hrs_1.html |title=MCN: The 48 Hr Journals, Pt 1 |website=moviecitynews.com |access-date=11 July 2017}}</ref>
Sragow says, "Hill has been known throughout his career for defining character through action rather than psychological banter, but he knew that this movie would be more of a character piece than a plot picture, and he wanted a writer who'd challenge his own habits and assumptions. Throughout filming, Hill joked that he waved the flag called 'myth and archetype'—trying to play off the folkloric expectations an audience might have for a big blonde hero like Nick Nolte-while Larry Gross waved a flag called 'social and psychological realism.' The writers' relationship became so symbiotic that Gross often found Hill coming down on the side of S&PR and Gross defending the prerogatives of M&A."<ref name="ghost"/>
Gross says his main contributions were: the idea that Reggie Hammond wanted badly to have sex after three years in prison; Nick Nolte having a relationship with his girlfriend that mirrored the frustration Eddie was having; improving "the nuances of the relationships between Nick and his girl, his boss and the killers. The killers were sharpened up and made more interesting... Whenever Walter could invent a monologue for one of the women (all bit parts), he would." Gross thought Hill had received "a bum rap on the woman question." "One of the things I think makes ''48 HRS.'' really more interesting than the average kind of movie like this," says its co-writer, "is that, although women play relatively small roles in the narrative, they kind of haunt everyone's imagination. The film really is sort of a screwball comedy about men and women trying to get together and not getting together, even though it is a very conventional gangster piece." "People had this perception of Walter being melancholy," Gross said. "And now that he's made this film no one thinks he's melancholy anymore."<ref>"LA CLIPS Honing the plot on Hill's 48 HRS."

===Filming===
Filming started on May 17, 1982, and ended on August 18, 1982.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://moviecitynews.com/archived/columnists/48hrdiaries/080523_48hrs_2.html|title=MCN: The 48 Hr Journals, Pt 2|website=moviecitynews.com|access-date=11 July 2017}}</ref> The film was shot on-location in [[San Francisco]] and [[Los Angeles]].
Murphy started a few weeks after principal photography began because he was finishing up a season of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.<ref name="mcgilligan" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://moviecitynews.com/archived/columnists/48hrdiaries/080530_48hrs_3.html|title=MCN: The 48 Hr Journals, Pt 3|website=moviecitynews.com|access-date=11 July 2017}}</ref> The shoot went well but Hill ran into problems with studio executives. [[Michael Eisner]], then head of Paramount, was worried that the film was not funny enough. Hill and his co-screenwriter, [[Larry Gross]] wrote more material tailored to Nolte's and Murphy's personalities. By Hill's account, they rewrote Murphy's character right to the very last day of shooting. Executives also found the footage of the gunfight in the hotel to be too violent and were worried that it would kill the film's humor. They told Hill that he would never work for Paramount again as a result.<ref name="mcgilligan" /> Actor Chris Mulkey, said it was widely known on set that Paramount executives hated what they had seen of Murphy's performance in dailies and wanted to fire him, but Nolte and Hill fought to keep him. Mulkey remembered Murphy as a diligent performer who was open to suggestions and stuck to the script.<ref name="Modderno">{{cite web  |date=3 December 2006 |last=Modderno |first=Craig |title=Eddie Murphy Inspires Oscar Buzz.
