Dragnet is a 1987 film starring Dan Akroyd, Tom Hanks, Christopher Plummer, Dabney Coleman, Harry Morgan, and Alexandra Paul. Acting as both a parody and homage to the long running Dragnet television series, Akroyd plays a very-accurate Joe Friday while Hanks plays Pep Streebeck, his brand-new and very unconventional partner. Harry Morgan, character Joe Webb's partner in the original series, now plays the role of police captain. Alexandra Paul plays The Virgin Connie Swail while Plummer plays the villain. Coleman plays the publisher of a skin magazine called Bait; his character is a direct parody of Hugh Heffner.

As did the original TV series, the movie begins with Sergeant Friday's voice-over narration about Los Angeles and (nearly) ends with a mug shot of the villain and a stern voice-over describing the sentencing.
