A sadistic serial killer is targeting New York's gay community and, in response, the NYPD sends rookie cop Steve Burns (Al Pacino) undercover to find the killer. Burns, who is straight, poses as a gay leatherman and enters the world of gay S&M sex clubs, learning their rules and mores as he goes along. But as Burns arduously tracks down the murderer, he finds himself growing attracted to these clubs and the gay leather/kink lifestyle, forcing him to question -- and possibly confront -- his own sexual identity.

 

Starring:  Al Pacino, Paul Sorvino, Karen Allen, Richard Cox, Don Scardino, Sonny Grosso

Director:  William Friedkin (also directed The Exorcist, The French Connection and Sorcerer)
