Nighthawks

Nighthawks (1981) — watch online on iFILM: action thriller directed by Bruce Malmuth, with Sylvester Stallone and Billy Dee Williams as two New York undercover detectives pulled into a newly formed anti-terrorism unit.

Their first case is not a routine one. Rutger Hauer plays Wulfgar — a European terrorist who has just arrived in Manhattan, methodical and entirely without mercy. Detective DaSilva operates the opposite way: instinct over procedure, physical, willing to improvise in situations that would shut down most cops. The city becomes the arena — subways, bridges, rooftops, crowded streets. No one in the crowd knows how close the danger is.

Shot on location in early-1980s New York, the film captures the city at its most raw. Stream Nighthawks (1981) online on iFILM.
