Training Day
Training Day is a 2001 American crime thriller film directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by David Ayer. It stars Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris and Ethan Hawke as Jake Hoyt, two LAPD narcotics officers followed over a 24-hour period in the gang-ridden neighborhoods of Westlake, Echo Park, and South Central Los Angeles. It also features Scott Glenn, Eva Mendes, Cliff Curtis, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Macy Gray in supporting roles.
Training Day was released on October 5, 2001, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Washington and Hawke's performances but were divided on the screenplay. The film received numerous accolades and nominations, with Washington's performance earning him the Academy Award for Best Actor and Hawke being nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 74th Academy Awards.
A television series based on the film, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, was announced in August 2015 and premiered on February 2, 2017, on CBS. Only Noel Gugliemi, Tom Berenger and Raymond J. Barry reprised their roles. The show was cancelled after one season.
Jake Hoyt, an ambitious LAPD officer, is assigned to work with Detective Alonzo Harris, a highly decorated narcotics officer for a one-day evaluation to determine if Jake will be invited to join his narcotics squad. Driving around in Alonzo's Monte Carlo, they begin the day by catching some college students buying marijuana. Alonzo confiscates the marijuana, puts it into a pipe and tells Jake to smoke it. When Jake refuses, Alonzo threatens him at gunpoint stating that such a refusal while on the streets would get him killed. After Alonzo ostensibly ends his evaluation, Jake relents and smokes the pipe, getting high. Alonzo then reveals that the marijuana was laced with PCP.
Alonzo and Jake then visit Alonzo's friend Roger, an old drug dealer, to introduce Jake. After they leave, Jake notices a pair of drug addicts attempting to rape a girl in an alley. Jake stops the attack and subdues the addicts. Alonzo menaces the addicts, but refuses to arrest them afterwards. Jake then finds and takes the girl's wallet which was left behind.
Later, Alonzo and Jake apprehend a dealer named Blue, who has crack rocks and a loaded handgun in his possession. Rather than go to jail, Blue informs on his employer Kevin "Sandman" Miller, who is in prison. Using a fake search warrant, Alonzo steals $40,000 from Sandman's home. At lunch, the two visit Alonzo's mistress Sara and their young son. Next, Jake accompanies Alonzo to a meeting with a trio of corrupt high-ranking law enforcement officials. Aware that the Russian mafia is hunting Alonzo, they suggest he skip town. Alonzo insists he has control of the situation and trades the $40,000 for an arrest warrant.
Alonzo assembles his squad of narcotics officers including Jake, and they return to Roger's house with the warrant to search for Roger's stash. They find over $4 million in cash. Alonzo leads the team in pocketing some of the money, explaining they will only turn in $3 million. Jake refuses to take his share of the money, worrying Alonzo and the other officers. Alonzo executes Roger after Jake refuses to kill him, staging the scene with his men to make Jake appear to be the shooter. Jake subsequently gets into a standoff with the corrupt officers as he refuses to corroborate their story. Alonzo then reveals he has orchestrated the day's events to have leverage over Jake and threatens him with the police department's post-incident blood test, which will detect the PCP Jake smoked and end his career. Alonzo promises to protect Jake from the drug test if he stands down; Jake reluctantly complies.
Later that evening, Alonzo drives Jake to the home of a Sureño gangster named Smiley for an errand. As he waits for Alonzo, Jake reluctantly plays poker with Smiley and his fellow gang members, Sniper and Moreno. Smiley then explains Alonzo's situation: Alonzo got into a fight with a connected Russian mobster in Las Vegas and killed him. Alonzo must pay a million dollars as compensation, or be killed himself. Additionally, Smiley reveals Alonzo has abandoned Jake and paid Smiley to kill him. Jake attempts to flee but is beaten and dragged to the bathroom to be executed. Moreno searches Jake for money and finds the wallet of the girl Jake saved from the attempted rape earlier, who is revealed to be Smiley's cousin. After calling her and confirming that Jake saved her, Smiley spares Jake's life.
