Black Rain is a 1989 American action-thriller film starring Michael Douglas, Andy García, Ken Takakura, Kate Capshaw and Yusaku Matsuda. The film was directed by Ridley Scott. The story is centered on two New York City police officers who arrest a member of the Yakuza and must escort him back to Japan. Once there, he escapes, and the two police officers find themselves dragged deeper and deeper into the Japanese underworld. This film illustrates the stereotypes of American and Japanese cops and gangsters. Nick Conklin is a skilled motorcyclist and a tough veteran New York City police... officer facing possible criminal charges; Internal Affairs believes Nick was involved with his partner who was caught taking criminal money in a corruption scandal. Nick is divorced from his wife, who has custody of their two children. Nick also has financial difficulties due to alimony and child support as well as other concerns. While having a drink at a local Italian restaurant/bar, Nick and his partner Charlie Vincent observe two Japanese men having what appears to be a friendly lunch with some Italian gangsters.
