Based On the book by Martin Cruz Smith

Gorky Park is a 1983 American mystery thriller film directed by Michael Apted and starring William Hurt, Lee Marvin, Brian Dennehy, Ian Bannen, Rikki Fulton, Richard Griffiths, Michael Elphick, and Joanna Pacuła. An adaptation of the 1981 novel by Martin Cruz Smith, it follows Moscow police investigator Arkady Renko (Hurt) on the trail of a gruesome triple murder that leads him into a web of government corruption.
