The Naked Gun (2025) opens at full throttle, with Frank Drebin Jr foiling a bank robbery in a schoolgirl outfit, only to uncover a plot involving the theft of the P.L.O.T. Device. His chaotic policing leads to reassignment, a visit to his father's memorial, and an investigation into the suspicious death of software engineer Simon Davenport. The trail points to billionaire Richard Cane, whose sinister scheme is to unleash humanity's savage instincts while the wealthy hide underground.
The film delivers the same rapid-fire, absurd humour as the originals, with Liam Neeson's straight-man delivery amplifying the madness around him. Pamela Anderson shines as Beth Davenport, Danny Huston plays the suave yet deranged villain, and a string of surprise cameos add extra laughs. Packed with set-pieces from a self-driving car disaster to a bizarre living snowman, it's unapologetically silly and designed for fans of the franchise's classic comedic style.
