Movie

Turner & Hooch

1989 · 99 min

A light buddy-cop comedy with a slobbery dog, mixing slapstick chaos and warm bonding before a surprisingly emotional final act.

Directed by: Roger Spottiswoode
Genres: Action, Comedy, Thriller
Starring: Tom Hanks, Mare Winningham, Craig T. Nelson

Tagline: The oddest couple ever unleashed!
Overview: Detective Scott Turner has three days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors. When Amos Reed is murdered, Scott sets himself on the case, but the closest thing to a witness to the murder is Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott has to take care of—to avoid Hooch being 'put to sleep'.
