在这部猛警恶匪喜剧片中,一个即将退休，处处畏首畏尾的老警察，在体检中发现自己得了绝症（其实是被人换了送检样品的卡片），为了给还上小学的儿子挣一笔教育金，他必须在所剩不多的时间里因公殉职。于是，他开始疯狂执行任务，可老天却偏偏跟他做对，总是让他毫发无伤地完成任务…
Burt Simpson (Dabney Coleman) is nearing retirement and he finds that he has a disease that will kill him within days. He then finds that his life insurance only pays off if he is killed in the line of duty. In order to leave something to his wife and children, Simpson becomes super cop, ignoring danger and trying his best to get killed.
“假绝症”的梗已不新鲜。
