Story
NYPD officer and former race car driver John Tanner is sent undercover by his boss Lieutenant McKenzie to uncover the intentions of a crime syndicate led by Castaldi. McKenzie directs Tanner to go to Miami to meet with a pimp named Rufus. After arriving in Miami, Tanner uses his driving skills to prove himself to the gangsters in a parking garage, so he becomes their getaway driver. Tanner does jobs for various gangsters before meeting Rufus, who hires him to rescue Jean-Paul, one of Rufus' associates. Rufus is later shot and killed by his girlfriend, Jesse. Needing more information for his investigation, Tanner arrests Jesse and takes her to the police station, where she reveals to him that Jean-Paul is now in San Francisco. Tanner goes to San Francisco where he meets Castaldi, Jean-Paul's boss, and works directly for him. He also meets Rusty Slater, his former racing rival who also works for Castaldi. Later, Tanner learns that Castaldi is working with a man named Don Hancock, who is running for president. He later suspects that Slater has been spying on him and wrecks Slater's car in a car chase, after which Slater is arrested. The Castaldi family moves to Los Angeles, where Castaldi plans to assassinate FBI agent Bill Maddox, part of Castaldi's plan to carry out an even bigger assassination in New York. Tanner instructs Leck, an associate of the police department, to make sure Maddox shows up or Tanner's cover will be in jeopardy. The assassination attempt on Maddox is successful, but the police ambush the gangsters and force Tanner to lead them to safety. Tanner convinces the suspicious gangsters that Slater probably told the police about the planned assassination during the interrogation. Leck later tells Tanner that McKenzie recently met Marcus Vaughn, a corrupt FBI agent working with Castaldi and Hancock. The Castaldi family then moves to New York, the site of the planned assassination. Tanner learns from his fellow cops that McKenzie wants him to pull out of the undercover operation, fearing that Tanner's cover won't last much longer. And Leck tells Tanner that Hancock has bribed several FBI agents. Tanner remains undercover and continues to work for Castaldi to find out what he's up to. Tanner eventually learns that Castaldi is planning to assassinate the President of the United States, and Tanner is assigned to drive the President's car. However, he ignores all instructions and takes the president to safety. McKenzie then arrives and informs Tanner that Castaldi and all his accomplices, including Hancock and Vaughn, have been arrested. He asks Tanner to take back his badge, but Tanner refuses. He suspects that the police and FBI are involved in the job and have been bribed by Vaughn's involvement. Tanner leaves, ignoring McKenzie completely.
