Desc: Black Heat: Directed by Al Adamson. With Timothy Brown, Russ Tamblyn, Jana Bellan, Geoffrey Land. Kicks Carter, a streetwise Las Vegs cop, is out to shut down an upscale hotel that is actually a front for a host of illegal activities. A gang headed by the scuzzy Ziggy is running everything from gun-running and loan-sharking to prostitution and drug-dealing, and a beautiful but nosy reporter keeps getting in Kicks' way.
