Burt Reynolds steps behind the camera and takes the lead in Sharky’s Machine, a hard-edged neo-noir thriller set in Atlanta’s criminal underworld.
Sgt. Tom Sharky is transferred from narcotics to the vice squad, where his new duties involve patrolling the streets and dealing with prostitution. The routine assignment takes a dangerous turn when he begins monitoring the activities of a group of high-class escorts working for a powerful local pimp.
His surveillance leads him to Dominoe (Rachel Ward), a woman whose phone conversations connect her to a gubernatorial candidate (Earl Holliman). As Sharky becomes increasingly drawn into the investigation, he finds himself up against powerful people determined to keep the truth buried.
