Fieberhaft – Undercover in der Drogenhölle

Rush is a 1991 American crime drama film directed by Lili Fini Zanuck and based on a novel written by Kim Ramsey Wozencraft. It stars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patric as two cops in the 1970s who go undercover on a case. They become drug addicts themselves and, failing to get the evidence they need, use falsified evidence. The book and film are both based on the actual 1978-79 drug scandal involving the Tyler, Texas police department and Smith County, Texas Sheriff's Office and subsequent 1982 multi-jurisdictional investigation, for which the book's author and her partner were eventually convicted and sentenced to prison in Texas on perjury charges for falsifying almost 200 drug cases which resulted in 70 false arrests in the Tyler area.[2][3]
