The Big Easy

Drama about a corrupt New Orleans cop (Dennis Quaid) who finds his department under investigation by an uncompromising female DA at the same time as a gang war erupts on his patch.

Colourful drama, set in New Orleans, about the relationship which develops between a young police lieutenant and an uncompromising female DA who is unimpressed with the bribery and corruption in the officer's department.

A vicious gang war is also simmering and looks set to erupt at any moment, as the murder of a Mafia soldier is followed swiftly by the killing of three drug-dealing gangsters.
