Ray Tango and Gabriel Cash are narcotics detectives who, while both being extremely successful, can't stand each other. Crime Lord Yves Perret, furious at the loss of income that Tango and Cash have caused him, frames the two for murder. Caught with the murder weapon on the scene of the crime, the two have no alibi. Thrown into prison with most of the criminals they helped convict, it appears that they are going to have to trust each other if they are to clear their names and catch the evil Perret.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The ostensible humor here is of the macho one-liner variety, and much of it falls flat.

rotten:
Tango and Cash is a waste of talent and energy on all levels: unworthy of Konchalovsky, unworthy also of Stallone, Russell and every superior technical credit on the film.

rotten:
Both men think that the best way to deliver the right to remain silent to the usual suspects is via a right hook.

rotten:
The film looks like the sort of queasy fever dream that might be produced by sitting through an entire Orson Welles film festival while eating pepperoni pizzas.

The jokes seem lame and the rivalry fraudulent, as the two boys play with their big guns.
