Story Overview

Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) raises the stakes of the franchise by introducing a deadly new threat within the streets of Los Angeles. Former police officer Jack Travis (Stuart Wilson), now turned criminal, has developed a new type of armor-piercing bullet capable of penetrating police vests, putting law enforcement directly in the line of fire.

The investigation is led by Internal Affairs detective Lorna Cole (Rene Russo), who soon realizes that the case is far more dangerous than anticipated. Facing escalating police casualties, she turns to seasoned detectives Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) for backup.

As Riggs and Murtaugh dig deeper, they uncover a sophisticated weapons-smuggling operation fueled by greed and revenge. With lives on the line and the city under threat, the duo must confront Travis in a relentless battle to stop the spread of lethal firepower and protect their fellow officers.

Balancing high-octane action with sharp humor and character-driven tension, Lethal Weapon 3 continues the series’ trademark blend of explosive set pieces and strong on-screen chemistry, while introducing fresh dynamics that push the partners into even riskier territory.
