Detective Jay Austin (Mark Harmon) was sure that somebody wanted something badly from the storeroom that night
So he broke in and killed his friend, an MP, Patti Jean Lynch (Jeanette Goldstein) during her routine patrol
Austin used to be an MP under Lt. Colonel Caldwell's (Sean Connery) command He thought he could use the Colonel's help avoiding other channels His instinct tells him that the bullet belongs to someone on the base What we get here is an investigation involving both the Army and the San Francisco Police Department
Now, while Caldwell considers Austin a man who has no respect for women and he'll use his daughter (whom he loves too much) to get at him his friend, Sgt. Maj. Ross Maclure (Jack Warden) knows that Donna is not a little girl anymore, and that her father doesn't want her to grow up
As a woman in love, Donna (Meg Ryan) knows that her father and Austin don't like each other So she decides to find out about Austin, and about that incident in the Presidio, where the female MP that was shot to death was with Austin when he busted Colonel Paul Lawrence (Dana Gladstone)
The investigation takes a turn when Caldwell knew that Arthur Peale (Mark Blum)a former province adviser to the CIA in Vietnamowns the Black Mountain Water Company Slowly, he begins to perceive that there's a piece missing, something worth killing for
The film carries two car chases in the streets of San Francisco, a good fight in a bar, and a climactic shoot-out in a water bottling plant
