Street Smart

In this gripping 1987 crime thriller, Christopher Reeve stars as Jonathan Fisher, a struggling magazine reporter in New York City who fabricates an interview with a pimp to advance his career. His fictional story about a character named Tyrone bears striking similarities to the real-life pimp, played by Morgan Freeman, who is indicted for murder. As both the prosecutor and the reporter try to exploit each other's connections, Jonathan finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse with Smalls' associates, including the prostitute Punchy, whom he has unwittingly romanticized.
