A former FBI agent is recruited to root out the gangsters who killed a fellow agent's son in this
Arnold Schwarzenegger action film. After being booted out of the bureau for excessive violence,
Kaminski (
Schwarzenegger) lives in small-town exile with his bitter wife,
Amy (
Blanche Baker). He gets the chance to return to the big city, however, when Chicago mobsters murder the son of his old colleague
Shannon (
Darren McGavin), as well as scads of prosecution witnesses against them in an impending court case.
Shannon promises to reinstate
Kaminski if he'll help engineer the downfall of gang leader
Max (
Robert Davi). Working undercover and without government sanction,
Kaminski infiltrates the mob by posing as a bodyguard/assassin. Along the way, he tussles with beautiful gambling addict
Monique (
Kathryn Harrold), who starts off as an enemy but ends up more. The
action comes to a head when
Kaminski's mob bosses send him to kill none other than
Shannon. Released post-
Terminator and pre-
Predator,
Raw Deal is one of several non-science fictional
action flicks that cemented
Schwarzenegger's '80s box-office appeal. Director
John Irvin would return the following year with the gritty Vietnam
drama Hamburger Hill.
