	Movies - Exiled: A Law & Order Movie

Exiled: A Law & Order Movie is a 1998 television movie that is based on the Law & Order television series; it originally aired on NBC. Written by Charles Kipps and Chris Noth (a Law & Order original cast member, until producers ousted him in 1995), the movie revolves around Noth's Detective Mike Logan character.

The movie's plot starts years after Logan's last major act in the L&O storyline continuity (the 1995 episode in which he punches a corrupt politician/murder suspect on the courthouse steps, in front of reporters). As bureaucratic payback for assaulting a public official, Logan's career lies in ruins. Although kept on the force, he has been demoted and "administratively re-assigned" to port patrol duty on Staten Island -- the NYPD's career graveyard. While struggling to cope with feelings of resentment and isolation, fate offers him a chance at redemption.

From here, the movie turns into a whodunit, in largely the same style as a late-1990's L&O episode. A forgotten murder case unexpectedly drifts Logan's way. The case may uncover a dirty-cop conspiracy (ultimately leading back to the very precinct that banished him), and his port patrol commanding officer repeatedly orders him to leave the case to the NYPD's "real detectives." Logan sees solving the case as the long hoped-for chance to resurrect his career, and get re-instated as a detective.

Logan (a ladies' man in the original L&O) also becomes romantically involved with a crime scene witness -- a witness that may unknowingly be the key to solving the deeply buried case. Soon Logan must choose between one woman's feelings for him, and doing whatever it takes to regain the only thing he's ever loved: being an NYPD detective.

Rapper-turned-actor Ice-T, who appears in this film, would later join the cast of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
