Harlem Nights — Blu-ray Film | Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor & Redd Foxx
Experience the high-class, fast-talking action-comedy classic on high-definition Blu-ray with Harlem Nights.
In a historic cinematic milestone, superstar Eddie Murphy wrote, directed, and starred in this vibrant period piece, successfully uniting three generations of black comedy royalty on screen. Set in the lush, dangerous world of 1930s New York, the story follows sophisticated nightclub owner Sugar Ray (Richard Pryor) and his hot-headed adopted son Quick (Eddie Murphy) as they run "Club Sugar Ray," the hottest illegal gambling house in Harlem.
Business is booming until a vicious white mobster, Bugsy Calhoune, and a deeply corrupt police force attempt to extort them and put them out of business. Refusing to back down, Ray, Quick, and their fiercely loyal crew cook up an elaborate, high-stakes sting operation to take down the syndicate, outsmart the cops, and walk away with a fortune. Brought to life by an irresistible, unforgettable all-star supporting cast, Harlem Nights blends razor-sharp wit, luxurious style, and explosive action.
