Mel Gibson - a man with a shaggy haircut looks to the side.

Lethal Weapon (M) (1987)
Following the death of his wife, Los Angeles police detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) becomes reckless and suicidal. When he is reassigned and partnered with Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), Riggs immediately clashes with the older officer. Together they uncover a massive drug-trafficking ring. As they encounter increasingly dangerous situations, Riggs and Murtaugh begin to form a bond. Riggs' volatile behaviour might just help them apprehend the criminals - if it doesn't kill them both first.

Lethal Weapon isn't just explosive action — it's a holiday classic wrapped in gunfire and tinsel. Set during Christmastime, it blends festive cheer with redemption, family, and second chances, making it the ultimate unconventional Christmas movie.
