Mann adapts his legendary ‘80s television show for the big screen in this 2006 cult hit.

The duo discovers the cartel is buying state-of-the-art weapons and smoking out undercover agents, putting Crockett and Tubbs in the crosshairs.

Mann delivers one of the best Los Angeles movies ever with this 2004 hit. Jamie Foxx is Max Durocher, an unassuming cab driver who dreams of someday running his own limo business.
