Miami Vice movie

Based on the 1980's TV action/drama, this update focuses on vice detectives Crockett and Tubbs as their respective personal and professional lives become dangerously intertwined.

A motion picture based on the series was released on July 28, 2006.Television seriesOriginsLegend has it that the head of NBCs Entertainment Division, Brandon Tartikoff, wrote a brainstorming memo that simply read "MTV cops". The result was Ethan Ingliss production of Miami Vice. However, according to series creator Anthony Yerkovich, the initial idea for the show came from a Time Magazine article on a then-recently enacted law that allows law enforcement agencies (the DEA, FBI, etc.) to use items recovered in the commission of a crime to further other unrelated investigations.

This allowed a confiscated Ferrari, for example, to be used to enhance an undercover officers cover as a high-profile drug dealer, which is exactly what happened on Miami Vice.Charactersand Philip Michael Thomas as James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs.]]While the series had many regulars, it focused primarily on two lead characters, James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs.Crockett is a former University of Florida Gators football star, best known for running a 90-yard touchdown in under 6 seconds. After being laid up from a football injury, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, and served 2 tours in Southeast Asia. In 1974 he became a Metro-Dade uniformed patrol officer.
