Chevy Chase is at his hilarious best in this suspense-packed comedy thriller based on Gregory McDonald’s novel. Fletch is an investigative reporter who’s constantly changing his identity. While working on a drug expose, Fletch attracts the attention of a strange business man (Tim Matheson) who wants to be killed so his wife will inherit more insurance. The wily Fletch senses a scam, and soon he’s up to his byline in frame-ups, murder, police corruption and forbidden romance. It’ll be the story of the year if he can stay alive to meet his deadline!
