Busting is a gritty crime drama that was released in 1974. The film was directed by Peter Hyams and stars Elliott Gould and Robert Blake as two detectives working for the LAPD's vice squad.
The film follows detectives Michael Keneely (Gould) and Patrick Farrel (Blake) as they try to take down a powerful crime boss named Rizzo (Allen Garfield). However, their efforts are constantly thwarted by their corrupt superiors, who are in cahoots with Rizzo.
Desperate to bring Rizzo to justice, Keneely and Farrel come up with a risky plan. They disguise themselves as gay men and infiltrate a gay bar that Rizzo frequents. Their hope is to gather evidence that will finally put Rizzo behind bars.
The scene in the gay bar is tense and uncomfortable as Keneely and Farrel navigate their way through the crowd, trying not to blow their cover. Eventually, their cover is blown, and they find themselves fighting for their lives in a brutal brawl.
