English Summary:

Gorky Park is a 1983 American mystery thriller film based on the novel Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith. The film was directed by Michael Apted. Dennis Potter won a 1984 Edgar Award for his screenplay for the film.

Moscow militsiya officer Arkady Renko is called to the site of three dead bodies in a Gorky Park ice rink. All have been shot in the chest and their faces and finger tips removed; two were also shot in the mouth. Renko becomes anxious when the KGB refuses to take over the investigation. Renko traces the woman's skates to a movie set worker, Irina Asanova, who claims that they were stolen. Based on the forensics, the doctor identifies one young man as a foreigner, likely an American. Renko asks Professor Levi Andreev to reconstruct two of their faces.

At the dacha of Chief Prosecutor Iamskoy, Renko makes the acquaintance of American sable importer Jack Osborne, who is accompanied by Asanova. Renko also crosses paths with William Kirwill, a New York detective who is investigating the disappearance of his brother James.

Renko eventually identifies the victims: James Kirwill and two friends of Asanova. He discovers that they were constructing a chest for Osborne. Renko's suspicion of Osborne mounts following several polite but tense conversations in social settings. When a KGB officer attempts to kill Asanova with an injected overdose, Renko saves her. Nursing her, they become involved romantically although she doesn't entirely trust him. Kirwill finally finds out about Osborne's chest. It was designed to smuggle out six live sables and break the Soviet monopoly, potentially earning Osborne millions. Osborne had promised Asanova's friends to smuggle them out of the Soviet Union; he tells Asanova her friend is in Manhattan.

Hungarian Summary:

Három borzalmasan megcsonkított holttestet találnak a moszkvai Gorkij parkban. Arkagyij Renko, a fővárosi rendőrség legendás hírű nyomozótisztje kapja az ügyet. A férfi egy bulldog szívósságával kezd munkához, de minél több információhoz jut, egyre nagyobb ellenállásba ütközik. A nyomok egyik része a külföldi üzletemberhez vezet, a másik a magas politika néhány vezéralakjához. Úgy látszik, senkinek sem áll érdekében, hogy Renko kiderítse az igazságot. A nyomozó azonban nem adja fel egykönnyen.
