The film is based on a novel written by former LA cop Joseph Wambbaugh and apparently very accurately recreates some of his experiences with real people while he was wearing a badge.

Rookie cop Roy (Stacy Keach) has promised his wife that he intends to get his degree and then look for a better job that will allow them to be a real family. She has trusted him and now they are sacrificing a lot to make their plan work. But as time goes by Roy reveals that he actually likes his new job and isn't in a rush to start studying for his exams. He also praises his partner, Kilvinski (George C. Scott), who seems like an invaluable source of information about life on the streets of LA. When his wife eventually reminds him about their plan, Roy reacts angrily and makes her wonder if he was ever serious about spending the rest of his life with her.

Meanwhile, Roy and Kilvinski develop a special bond and he begins spending even less time at home. Their experiences on the streets also make him realize that the law he has sworn to enforce could be interpreted in a lot of different ways. And when a deranged man nearly kills him, Roy reluctantly begins to reevaluate his entire life.

The movie opens in 1972, when Brian Dennehy's Officer Dennis Meechum is working in evidence storage at his precinct. A group of masked criminals break in and kill all the cops save for Dennehy, who is left for dead.
Cut to 15 years later: Dennehy is now a celebrated detective and a best-selling author whose book about what happened back in '72 has garnered him a great deal of notoriety. Unfortunately time has not been entirely kind to Meechum. His career is going downwards, together with the rest of Meechum's life - his wife died and left him with sixteen year old daughter Holly (Allison Balson), plenty of debts and murderous writer's block.
Into his life enters a stranger named Cleve (James Woods), who wants Meechum to write a book about his history as a professional killer. Meechum is skeptical, so he and Cleve travel the country gathering "proof" of Cleve's claims. As the two men form a kind of bond through their mistrust, Cleve's real motivations begin to be revealed...
