The Stone Killer

Cops Mathews (Ralph Waite) and Hart (John Ritter) arrest a suspect, stirring trouble in an LA neighborhood, and angering semi-rogue detective Torrey (Charles Bronson), who gets held off by their commander (Norman Fell), before going after the guy they should have busted, in The Stone Killer, 1973.

Young John Ritter, as cop Hart, escorts inmate Lipper (David Moody) from the hospital where he’s had brain tests, and who thinks Langley (Paul Koslo) meeting him in the rest room, is helping him bust out, but it’s more complex than that, in the Charles Bronson thriller The Stone Killer, 1973.

A pastoral moment from director-producer Michael Winner, in his second of three features with star Charles Bronson, who appears as New York cop Torrey, chasing a holed-up suspect, opening The Stone Killer. 1973, from a John Gardner novel, co-starring Martin Balsam.

A top detective (Charles Bronson) is transferred to Los Angeles and uncovers a plot by a Sicilian mafioso in The Stone Killer (1973).
