This San Francisco-set policier offers the third and final onscreen appearance of Sidney Poitier’s Virgil Tibbs, “now risen beyond the good black cop idea to regular good cop” (Time Out). When the famed lieutenant reluctantly goes rogue and teams with anti-heroin vigilantes, he finds himself pitted against both fellow officers and a murderous drug syndicate.
Please note: due to the poor condition of the 35mm print, this screening will be a digital presentation.
