Trailer - Rush - 1991

Rush is a 1991 American crime drama film directed by Lili Fini Zanuck and based on a novel written by Kim Wozencraft.

It stars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patric as two cops in the 1970s who go undercover on a case.

They become drug addicts themselves and, under pressure from the chief of police, falsified evidence in some cases.

The book and film are both based on a 1978-79 drug scandal involving the Tyler, Texas police department and Smith County, Texas Sheriff's Office.

An FBI investigation led to the book's author and her partner pleading guilty to perjury, serving time in federal prison, and testifying in a federal civil rights case against Tyler, Texas police chief Willie Hardy, who was found not guilty by a jury of his peers in Smith County, Texas.[2][3]
