Description of this Inspector Harry Poster
Inspector Harry is a 1971 American neo-noir action thriller film produced and directed by Don Siegel, the first in the Inspector Harry series. Clint Eastwood plays the title role, in his first appearance as San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) Detective "Dirty" Harry Callahan. The film is inspired by the real-life case of the Zodiac Killer, with Callahan's character on the hunt for a similarly vicious psychopath.
Inspector Harry was a critical and commercial success and defined the style of an entire genre of detective films. It was followed by four sequels: Magnum Force in 1973, The Enforcer in 1976, Sudden Impact in 1983, and The Dead Pool in 1988.
In 2012, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress because it is "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant."
A psychopathic sniper, later nicknamed "Scorpio", shoots a woman as she swims in a rooftop pool. He leaves behind a threatening letter demanding that he be paid $100,000 or he will kill more people. The note is found by Inspector Harry Callahan of the SFPD. The mayor teams up with the police to track down the killer, but to buy time, he agrees to Scorpio's request over Callahan's objections. During his lunch break, Harry foils a bank robbery. He shoots one thief and holds another at gunpoint with his Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver, bluffing him into surrendering with an ultimatum:
I know what you're thinking: "Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all the excitement, I lost track a little myself. But since it's about 'a Magnum 44, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it could blow your head off, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?"
Harry is assigned a rookie partner, Chico Gonzalez, against his opposition to working with another inexperienced police officer. Meanwhile, Scorpio is spotted by a police helicopter near Saints Peter and Paul Church while lying in wait for potential victims, but he escapes. Harry and Gonzalez are unable to find him, and Harry is beaten after being mistaken for a peeping tom. After helping prevent a suicide, Harry and Gonzalez learn that Scorpio murdered a 10-year-old African-American boy. Based on his letter, the police believe Scorpio's next victim will be a Catholic priest and set a trap for him.
Scorpio eventually arrives, kills a police officer in the ensuing shootout, and flees. The next day, the police receive another letter in which Scorpio claims to have kidnapped a teenage girl named Ann Mary Deacon. He threatens to kill her if we don't give him a $200,000 ransom. Harry is tasked with delivering the money, wearing a radio headset so Gonzalez can secretly follow him. The Scorpion asks Harry to run around the city via payphones. They end up at the Mount Davidson cross, where Scorpio beats Harry and confesses that he intends to kill him and leave Ann Mary to die. Gonzalez intervenes and is shot in the chest. Harry uses a hidden knife to stab Scorpio in the leg, but he escapes.
Gonzalez tells Harry that he is not cut out for being a police officer and is considering becoming a teacher instead. Harry learns of Scorpio's visit to the hospital and a doctor reveals to him that the killer lives in a room at Kezar Stadium. Harry finds him there and chases Scorpio, shooting him in the leg. Harry tortures Scorpio into confessing where Ann Mary is being held, but the police only find her corpse. The prosecutor reprimands Harry for his conduct, explaining that since Harry illegally obtained his evidence against Scorpio (namely a rifle in Scorpio's possession), all of this evidence is inadmissible in court and Scorpio must be released as a man free. Harry, outraged, continues to follow Scorpion in his free time. Scorpion pays a man $200 to beat him severely and puts the blame on Harry, forcing Harry to stop following him.
Scorpion steals a gun from a liquor store owner and hijacks a school bus. He contacts the police with another ransom demand that includes a flight from the Santa Rosa airport. Harry waits for him, then jumps onto the roof of the bus from an overpass. Scorpio crashes the bus into a mound of earth and flees into a nearby quarry, where he takes a hostage before Harry wounds him with a rapid-firing weapon. Harry aims his gun and repeats his ultimatum about not counting his shots anymore. Scorpio reaches for his gun, but Harry kills him with his last bullet and removes his police badge, throwing it into the nearby water and leaving.
