Beverly Hills Cop III

Seven years after the events from the second film, Detroit Police Department detective Axel Foley plans to arrest a car-theft ring at a chop shop. Unbeknownst to his superior, Inspector G. Douglas Todd, Axel cancels his SWAT backup; planning to use only his team for the raid. Meanwhile, a group of four men arrive at the chop shop to pick up a stolen box truck; the leader of the group confirms that the truck still has its cargo—crates apparently belonging to the U.S. government—then has his men execute the car thieves. The group prepares to leave when Axel and his team launch their raid, but are outgunned. Todd, arriving moments later, is killed by the group's leader. When the group flees in the box truck, Axel gives chase but is intercepted by Secret Service Agent Steve Fulbright. He informs Axel that the killer must remain on the loose because the federal government is pursuing a larger scheme in which he is involved. After Todd's funeral, Axel learns that several clues left behind by the killers point to WonderWorld; a theme park in Beverly Hills, California, owned by "Uncle Dave" Thornton. Axel arrives in Beverly Hills and reunites with his friend Billy Rosewood, now promoted to "Deputy Director of Operations for Joint Systems Interdepartmental Operational Command" (DDO-JSIOC) and meets Jon Flint, Billy's new partner after John Taggart's retirement. Flint calls his friend Ellis DeWald, head of WonderWorld's park security, to let him know that Axel is coming to the park for his investigation. Axel befriends park employee Janice Perkins while touring the park's behind-the-scenes facilities. He is observed by security, then shot at and attacked hand-to-hand. Axel retreats to the surface, where he cuts in line to enter the Spider Ferris wheel ride. Axel rescues two children from the Spider after the guards accidentally jam the ride and is brought to park manager Orrin Sanderson. When DeWald is called in to contest Axel's claim that he was attacked by the security guards without prior challenge, Axel recognizes DeWald as Todd's killer but Rosewood and Flint refuse to believe him because of DeWald's impeccable public reputation. Later, Axel is visited in his motel room by Uncle Dave and Janice. They inform him that the WonderWorld park's designer and Uncle Dave's close friend - Roger Frye - has mysteriously disappeared while inspecting the grounds two weeks earlier, leaving only a letter with a cryptic message. Axel and Rosewood attend a banquet to honor DeWald as private law-enforcement officer of the year and meet Axel's old friend Serge. Axel tries to heckle DeWald into revealing his criminal activities but DeWald resists Axel's attempts. Later, Axel digs deeper into a closed-off section of the park and learns DeWald and Sanderson are using WonderWorld as a front for a counterfeiting ring. DeWald was at the chop shop in Detroit to collect mint paper stored in the truck. That evening, Axel meets with Uncle Dave to ask him about further details to find a piece of viable evidence and discovers that Frye's warning letter is actually written on a sheet of the stolen mint paper. Before he can make use of that evidence, Uncle Dave is shot and wounded by DeWald and Axel is framed for his shooting. After getting away from DeWald and bringing Uncle Dave to a hospital, Axel sets out to prove his innocence by storming the park; calling Rosewood and Flint to assist him. The ensuing shootout kills the rest of DeWald's henchmen and leaves Axel, Rosewood and Flint injured; after a hand-to-hand fight Axel kills DeWald, avenging Todd. In the meantime, Sanderson is killed by Agent Fulbright; who then appears before Axel to explain that he was right. Axel realizes that Agent Fulbright is involved with the counterfeiters, so he fatally shoots him after a brief struggle. Later, Axel, Rosewood and Flint attend a special event at WonderWorld; where Uncle Dave—having made a full recovery—thanks Axel for his assistance by creating a new character for WonderWorld with his name—"Axel Fox"—while Axel begins a relationship with Janice.
