Jay Austin is now a civilian police detective. Colonel Caldwell was his commanding officer years before when he left the military police over a disagreement over the handling of a drunk driver. Now a series of murders that cross jurisdictions force them to work together again. That Austin is now dating Caldwell's daughter is not helping their relationship.
A tough-as-nails San Francisco police detective, Jay Austin, is partnered with a by-the-book military police officer, Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell, to investigate a murder within the Presidio military base. As they delve deeper, they uncover a conspiracy involving stolen weaponry and a history of animosity between the two men that complicates their investigation and threatens their lives.
The Presidio received a mixed to negative reception from critics, with many finding its plot convoluted and its action sequences uninspired. While Sean Connery's presence was noted, the film was generally seen as a standard, forgettable action-thriller that failed to live up to its potential.
Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a general disappointment with the film, citing a weak storyline and a lack of engaging elements. While some viewers appreciated the action and the star power of Sean Connery, many felt the movie was unremarkable and easily forgettable.
The Presidio military installation in San Francisco, where the film is set and partially filmed, was the oldest active U.S. Army post on the West Coast before its closure in 1994.
