Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence--and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins, one of Boston P.D.'s "finest," is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies.

About The Heat

Sarah Ashburn, a meticulous FBI Special Agent known for her arrogance, and Shannon Mullins, a foul-mouthed Boston P.D. detective relying on street smarts, are polar opposites. Neither has ever had a partner, let alone a friend. Forced to team up to take down a ruthless drug lord, they initially clash due to their incompatible methods and personalities. However, amidst the chaos and high-stakes investigation, they unexpectedly form a bond, discovering that their differences may be their greatest strength. What starts as an uneasy alliance transforms into a genuine friendship, proving that sometimes, the most unlikely partnerships can yield the most remarkable results. The film's humor arises from the contrast in the characters' styles, leading to uproarious situations and unforgettable moments.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.
