Los Angeles, 1953. Just beneath the glamorous veneer of Hollywood gossip and movie stars lies a crime-ridden city corrupt to its core. Now, while investigating a brutal murder, three very different police detectives will rediscover a common bond of integrity in the blockbuster film noir thriller L.A. Confidential. Jaded detective Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey) wants to keep his cushy job as technical advisor to a top-rated television series. Volatile Bud White (Russell Crowe) serves as muscle for a police commisioner working outside the law. And Ed Exley's (Guy Pearce) overpowering ambition drives his by-the-book interpretation of law enforcement. Despite their mutual antagonism, these three detectives follow a trail leading to Lynn Bracken (Kim Basinger), a woman no man can resist, and to a secret that could destroy the city and its police department--a secret that has already led to a string of murders in L.A. Confidential.
