A Piece of the Action

Overview

Retired cop Joshua Burke, portrayed by James Earl Jones, faces a unique challenge: reforming two seasoned crooks, Manny Durrell (Sidney Poitier) and Dave Anderson (Bill Cosby). Instead of traditional methods, Burke resorts to a clever tactic—blackmailing them with secrets from their shady histories. Tasked with mentoring troubled youth, the unlikely trio navigates the complexities of redemption and responsibility. As Burke pushes them toward a better path, humor and unexpected camaraderie emerge, leading to a journey filled with both challenges and heartwarming moments.
