The second
Dirty Harry movie,
Magnum Force concerns itself with a vigilante group that has targeted notorious scofflaws for extermination. When a prominent gang boss or drug-runner is set free by the airheaded liberal courts, a covert group of "avengers" is soon on hand to blow the miscreant to bits. While detective
Dirty Harry Callahan (
Clint Eastwood) is no great friend of civil liberties, he is dead set against wholesale murder as a solution to legal loopholes. Discovering that all the killings have been committed by the same weapon,
Callahan reaches the conclusion that his on-the-edge partner,
Charlie McCoy (
Mitchell Ryan), is responsible. But the answer is less transparent than that, as
Harry learns almost at the cost of his own life. Co-scripted by
John Milius and
Michael Cimino,
Magnum Force was followed by three additional
Dirty Harry installments:
The Enforcer (1976),
Sudden Impact (1983) and
The Dead Pool (1988).
