Murphy's Law

Murphy's Law (1986) is a tough American action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director J. Lee Thompson pairs Charles Bronson — as laconic L.A. detective Jack Murphy — with Kathleen Wilhoite in a film that moves fast and doesn't apologize for it.

Murphy gets framed for his ex-wife's murder. Evidence points at him, and he ends up in custody. He breaks out — handcuffed to a young pickpocket who happened to be in the wrong place. Now they're both running while Murphy hunts the real killer. Chases, gunfights, an unlikely duo on the loose.

Bronson at his most economical: hard-edged, deliberate, zero excess. Classic 1980s genre filmmaking. Stream Murphy's Law (1986) online on iFILM.
