Gorky Park is a 1983 thriller film directed by Michael Apted, based on the novel by Martin Cruz Smith. The film stars William Hurt as Arkady Renko, a police inspector in Moscow, and Lee Marvin as Jack Osborne, an American detective who helps Renko with the investigation.
The film begins with the discovery of three bodies in Gorky Park, a popular park in Moscow. Renko is assigned to the case, but his investigation is hindered by his superiors, who seem to be more interested in covering up the crime than solving it.
Renko eventually discovers that the victims were American citizens, which leads him to work with Osborne, who is also investigating the case. Together, they uncover a conspiracy involving high-level officials in the Soviet government.
As Renko gets closer to the truth, he becomes a target himself, and he must use all his wits and resources to stay alive and bring the killers to justice.
The film was praised for its atmospheric portrayal of Soviet Russia and its complex plot, which keeps the audience guessing until the very end. Hurt's performance as Renko was also highly praised, and the film was a moderate box office success.
