Der Partner des wortkargen Cops Nick Pulovski wird bei der Fahndung nach dem skrupellosen Chef einer Autoschieberbande Strom getötet. Als neuer Partner wird ihm der unerfahrene Cop David Ackerman zugeteilt. Pulovski ist alles andere als begeistert, denn David ist nicht nur ein blutiger Anfänger, sondern schleppt zu allem Überfluss auch noch ein unbewältigtes Kindheitstrauma mit sich herum, das mit dem Tod seines Bruders zu tun hat. Als die beiden – entgegen ihrer Befehle – weiter gegen Strom und seine Geliebte Liesl ermitteln, geht prompt alles schief. David vermasselt den Einsatz, er selbst wird angeschossen und Nick wird von den Autoschiebern als Geisel genommen. Die Gangster verlangen zwei Millionen Dollar Lösegeld. Aber David hat einen anderen Plan. Er beschließt, es auf eigene Faust mit den Killern aufzunehmen und seinen Partner zu retten…
Gesamte Besetzung von Rookie - Der Anfänger
Clint Eastwood
Nick Pulovski
Clint Eastwood delivers a characteristically commanding performance as veteran detective Nick Pulovski in the 1990 action-comedy "The Rookie." As a seasoned officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, Eastwood's Pulovski is the embodiment of grizzled experience, juxtaposed with a charmingly sardonic wit. His portrayal of the hard-boiled cop is both physically imposing and subtly nuanced, as he navigates the film's high-octane chases and shootouts with a cool-headed swagger that only Eastwood can convey. Pulovski's partnership with the young and earnest officer played by Charlie Sheen provides ample opportunity for Eastwood to showcase his character's dry humor and old-school policing tactics, which often clash with the modern, technologically driven methods of his counterpart. Eastwood's performance is a testament to his enduring screen presence, as he effortlessly anchors the film with his iconic stoicism, punctuated by flashes of roguish charisma that make Nick Pulovski an unforgettable addition to his pantheon of cinematic heroes.
Charlie Sheen
David Ackerman
In the 1990 action film "The Rookie," Charlie Sheen takes on the role of David Ackerman, a young, idealistic cop who dreams of becoming a detective. Sheen's portrayal brings a fresh-faced enthusiasm and determination to the character, juxtaposing the hardened cynicism of his seasoned partner, played by Clint Eastwood. As Ackerman, Sheen convincingly navigates the steep learning curve of police work, showcasing both his character's vulnerabilities and his growth into a competent and principled officer. His performance is marked by a blend of naivety and grit, capturing the audience's empathy as he faces the moral and physical challenges inherent in his quest to bring down a powerful and elusive car theft ring. Sheen's chemistry with Eastwood's character is a highlight of the film, providing a dynamic interplay between the old guard and the new, and between toughness and sensitivity, which ultimately enriches the narrative.
