Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks in Dragnet
There is a persistent trend of turning iconic television shows into hit movies that are able to live a life of their own. While the original runs of Mission: Impossible and The Fugitive were hits in their days, the equally beloved 1990s films helped retool the properties into far more prestigious star vehicles that earned an equally enthused new audience.
What Is ‘Dragnet’ About? Set in the criminal underbelly of Los Angeles, Dragnet focuses on two completely different police officers who are assigned to solve a series of strange heists that are seemingly orchestrated by an unknown criminal enterprise.
Although there are a few specific references to the original show , Dragnet works as a broad satire of the types of crime drama television shows that were popular in the 1980s. The original Dragnet may have been off the air since 1959 , but other drama shows like Miami Vice and 21 Jump Street were still at the peak of their popularity. The Dragnet film essentially felt like an extended episode, but had more time to focus on the characters and their widely different approaches.
While simply spending time listening to Aykroyd and Hanks hurl one-liners at each other is reason enough to enjoy the film as a comedy gem, Dragnet has a stacked supporting cast of venerable character actors.
