Starsky & Hutch is the story of high-strung workaholic David Starsky (Ben Stiller) and laidback ladies’ man Ken ‘Hutch’ Hutchison (Owen Wilson) who are detectives patrolling the crime-ridden streets of Bay City, California.
When the murdered body washes ashore on a local beach, Starsky and Hutch follow the clues that lead them to their primary suspect, a sleezy drug dealer named Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn). The two discover that Feldman has concocted a new and undetectable kind of cocaine and that a huge drug deal is about to go down. Working undercover, the duo discovers information about the deal with the help of Huggy Bear (Snoop Dogg), a well dressed street informant and they devise a plan to catch Feldman in the act.
Feldman is planning the biggest trafficking operation right under their noses and is going to make millions on the biggest drug deal of his life. He is not going to let two cops take him down without a fight.
