Veteran action star Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s forgotten 1986 movie is now finally streaming for free. Titled Raw Deal, the action thriller film featured Schwarzenegger playing an ex-FBI agent tasked with infiltrating the mob by going undercover as an ex-convict.
“When efforts to prosecute mob boss Luigi Patrovita are repeatedly derailed thanks to a mole in the FBI, the only choice is to bring in an outsider — specifically, Mark Kaminsky, a disgraced agent who leaps at a chance for reinstatement. After FBI chief Shannon gives him his orders, Kaminsky fakes his death and reemerges as an ex-con named Brenner. Undercover and accountable to no one, the former Fed tears up the mob from the inside,” reads the official synopsis.
