Wulfgar a terrorist, who has been plaguing Europe, is now in the U.S.
A British counter terrorism expert arrives in New York to help and he chooses Detectives from the NYPD to train on how to deal with Wulfgar.
Among the ones he chooses is Deke De Silva, a veteran cop, who doesn't he think he is suited for the job. But tries to do the best he can. Eventually he comes face to face with Wulfgar and hesitates shooting him despite being told that he should shoot him if he has the chance, which not only allows him to escape but to injure his partner.
Wulfgar now has his sights set on him as well as his other targets.
DeSilva can now only wait for Wulfgar to make his next move...
Nighthawks, or the film that Stallone went all a bit Bee Gee, is an absolutely hilarious film to watch, thanks to lack of narrative, gaping plot-holes, and one of the funniest introductions to a hero ever.
But thanks to Hauer and Stallone, it's actually very watchable and very action packed indeed. It's a wonder why it's been overlooked in recent years, because it's a lot better than some of the films Stallone has made.
There are some silly bits in it though, Hauer having a 'transformation' at the beginning, to look more like Rutger Hauer, Stallone overacting on several occasions with a funky beard and even funkier glasses, but the director knows how to handle the action well, despite it being very formulaic, and having a Brian De Palma ending.
A little gem of a film well worth watching.
Plus it's the best film with Stallone dressed as a woman at the beginning and the end, ever.
