Description of this Dirty Harry Poster
Dirty Harry is a 1971 American neo-noir action thriller film produced and directed by Don Siegel, the first in the Dirty 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 searching for a similarly vicious psychopath.
Dirty Harry was a critical and commercial success and defined the style for an entire genre of crime films. It was followed by four sequels: Magnum Force in 1973, The Enforcer in 1976, Sudden Impact in 1983, and The Deadpool in 1988.
In 2012, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “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 $100,000 or he will kill more people. The note is found by SFPD Detective Harry Callahan. The mayor teams up with the police to track down the killer, but to buy time, he agrees to Scorpio’s request despite Callahan’s objections. During his lunch break, Harry foils a bank robbery. He shoots one robber 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 kind of lost it myself. But since it’s a .44 Magnum, 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?” How about you, thug?
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 scouting for potential victims, but he escapes. Harry and Gonzalez fail 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 has 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 unless he is given a $200,000 ransom. Harry is tasked with delivering the money, wearing a radio earpiece so Gonzalez can secretly track him. Scorpio asks Harry to run around the city via payphones. They meet at the cross on Mount Davidson, where Scorpio beats Harry and confesses that he intends to kill him and leave Ann to die. Mary. Gonzalez intervenes and is shot in the chest. Harry uses a concealed knife to stab Scorpio in the leg, but Scorpio escapes.
Gonzalez tells Harry that he is not cut out for police work and plans to become a teacher instead. Harry learns of Scorpio’s visit to the hospital, and a doctor reveals that the killer is living in a room at Kezar Stadium. Harry finds him there and chases Scorpio, shooting him in the leg. Harry tortures Scorpio to confess where Ann Mary is being held, but the police only find her corpse. The district attorney reprimands Harry for his conduct, explaining that since Harry illegally obtained his evidence against Scorpio (namely, a rifle in Scorpio’s possession), all such evidence is inadmissible in court, and Scorpio must be released as a free man. An outraged Harry continues to follow Scorpio on his own time. Scorpio pays $200 to a man to beat him severely and frame Harry, forcing Harry to stop following him.
Scorpio steals a pistol 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 dirt and flees to a nearby quarry, where he takes a hostage before Harry wounds him with a rapid-fire weapon. Harry aims his revolver and repeats his ultimatum about losing count of his shots. Scorpio reaches for his gun, but Harry kills him with his last bullet and removes his police badge, throws it into the nearby water, and leaves.
