Cobra is a 1986 action movie starring Sylvester Stallone as a cop, Reni Santori as his partner, Stockard Channing as a crooked cop & Brigitte Nielsen as a witness to a crime. Marian Cobretti, the policeman played by Stallone, shoots a kidnapper at a supermarket to death. Before dying, the kidnapper declares something about the way of the new world. Unknown to Cobretti, he was referring to a group of criminals whose intent was to kill every outsider & rule the world by themselves. One night, the group decides to go on a string of killings around Los Angeles. They murder, among others, a woman in her car & a security guard. The only one to escape their carnage that night is the character played by Nielsen, who witnessed the murder of the guard. As a witness in extreme danger, she is put in protective custody & handled over to Cobretti & his partner. Because there was a crooked cop on the force who was a member of the criminal gang, the gang always finds the witness, but their several attempts to kill her are halted by Cobretti and, to a lesser extent, by Cobrettis partner.
