What happens

Red Heat is a 1988 American buddy cop action comedy thriller film directed, co-written, and co-produced by Walter Hill and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Soviet policeman Ivan Danko, and Jim Belushi as Chicago police detective Art Ridzik. The film centers on the duo who, finding themselves on the same case, work as partners to catch a cunning and deadly Georgian drug kingpin, Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross), who killed Danko's previous partner. Most of the scenes set in the Soviet Union were actually shot in Hungary. Schwarzenegger was paid $8 million for his role in the film. The film is dedicated to the memory of Bennie Dobbins, who died while filming in Austria. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
