'Red Heat' is a 1988 buddy cop film directed by Walter Hill. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, as Moscow narc Ivan Danko, and James Belushi, as Chicago detective Art Ridžić. Finding themselves on the same case, Danko and Ridžić work as partners to catch a cunning and deadly Soviet Georgian drug kingpin, Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross), who also happens to be the killer of Danko's previous partner back in Russia.
The film was released with the tagline Moscow's toughest detective. Chicago's craziest cop. There's only one thing more dangerous than making them mad: making them partners. It was the first American film allowed to shoot in Moscow's Red Square - however, most of the scenes set in Russia (with the exceptions of the establishing shots under the main titles and the final lengthy shot in Red Square behind the end credits) were shot in Hungary.
