Blue Streak

The plot centers on Miles Logan, a skilled jewel thief who pulls off a major diamond heist.

To retrieve it, Logan assumes the identity of a detective, leading to a series of comedic and action-packed situations as he navigates the police force and evades suspicion.

Moritz Productions, and Jaffe Productions, reflecting a collaboration of studios experienced in action and comedy genres. Blue Streak found a place in late 1990s cinema as part of the era’s wave of buddy cop and heist comedies.
