A hilarious fish-out-of-water action comedy set against the sun-kissed backdrop of southern California and named by the American Film Institute as one of the funniest films ever made, BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984) was directed by AFI Alum Martin Brest (AFI Class of 1973) and was written by AFI Trustee Emeritus Daniel Petrie Jr. The film stars Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, with Judge Reinhold, Lisa Eilbacher, Paul Reiser and more in supporting roles.
