Murphy (Paul Newman) is a street cop in the tough borough of the Bronx - known to its denizens as "Fort Apache". While Murphy treats the people on his beat with dignity, he can't seem to convince his superiors that brutality isn't a cure for society's ills. After witnessing a fellow cop (Danny Aiello) murdering a suspect, Murphy is advised to keep the incident to himself, but he refuses and his colleagues soon ostracize him.
