On this day, December 8, 1982, the action-comedy 48 Hrs. premiered in theaters. Starring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy, the film follows a tough cop and a wisecracking convict as they team up to track down two dangerous criminals.

48 Hrs. marked Eddie Murphy’s film debut, showcasing his comedic brilliance and launching him into stardom. Directed by Walter Hill, the film blended gritty action with sharp humor, setting the template for the buddy-cop genre that became a staple of the 80s. It was a commercial success and remains a beloved classic.
