Serpico

(1973)

Synopsis

An honest New York City cop refuses to be corrupted, even though he sees practically all of his colleagues succumb to the temptations of the job. When he's finally had more than he can take, he goes public with what he knows about the negligent inaction of his superiors. Although this brings about a public investigation, it makes the talented office an even greater pariah among his co-workers.
