“Mr. Murphy knows exactly what he's doing, and he wins at every turn.”—New York Times
This 1984 action comedy made Eddie Murphy a superstar, and remains funny and fresh. When a childhood friend is murdered, rogue Detroit cop Axel Foley (Murphy) treks to Los Angeles for answers. Foley’s fish-out-of-water antics in Beverly Hills provide the perfect setting for Murphy’s considerable charisma and comedic talents; the talented supporting cast steers the film clear of star-vehicle limitations. The Grammy-winning soundtrack spawned numerous hits (including Harold Faltermeyer’s instrumental main theme), ensuring Beverly Hills Cop’s classic status.

Wikipedia
Beverly Hills Cop is a 1984 American action-comedy film directed by Martin Brest and starring Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, Judge Reinhold, and Ronny Cox. Murphy stars as Axel Foley, a street-smart Detroit cop, who heads to Beverly Hills, California to solve the death of his best friend (although the trailer says that he's on vacation). During his investigation, he finds himself being frequently pursued by Beverly Hills police to the backdrop of the song "The Heat is On", by Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey.
