| Ray Tango and Garbiel Cash are narcotics detectives who, while both being extremely successful, can't stand each other. Crime Lord Yves Perret, gurious at the loss of income that Tango and Cash have caused him, frames the two for murder. Caught with the murder weapon on the scene of the crime, the two have an alibi. Thrown into prison with most of the criminals they helped convict, it appears that they are going to have to trust each other if they are to clear their names and catch the evil Perret. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| "Let's hope this will be the last of Tango..." -- Rita Kempley, Washington Post | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
