Miami Vice is a 2006 American film adaptation of the 1980s TV series of the same name. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx will star as Crockett & Tubbs. The film will be directed by Michael Mann and its music will be scored by RZA. Miami Vice is also notable for being one of a small but growing contingent of films that are shot digitally.

Plot summary

After a tragic security breach in the Joint Inter-Agency Task Force (JIATF), the FBI ask for help from the Miami authorities, who are not part of the compromised group. This assignment goes to Detectives James 'Sonny' Crockett and Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs. Going undercover as offshore boat racers and outlaw smugglers Sonny Burnett and Rico Cooper, they take on the narcotrafficking network of the mysterious Archangel de Jesus Montoya-Londono and his Cuban Chinese banker Isabella. The intensity of the case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one — especially when Crockett falls for Isabella, and when there is an assault on Tubbs's loved ones.
