"52 Pick-Up" (John Frankenheimer:US:1986)

One of those occasions when Andrew submits a film for Matt, but fortunately it's a Cannon film. Harry Mitchell, an L.A. manufacturer with a fancy car, a nice house, and a wife running for city council, has his life overturned when three masked blackmailers appear with a video tape of Harry and his young  mistress. He's been set up, and they want $105,000. To protect his  wife's political ambitions, Harry won't go to the police; instead, he  shines them on and then doesn't pay. They up their demands, so he goes on the offensive, tracking them down and trying to turn one against the  other. Their sociopathic leader, Alan, responds with violence toward the mistress and menace toward Harry's wife. Will Harry let up and pay off  Alan or can he find some other solution?
