Code of Silence is a 1985 American action thriller film directed by Andrew Davis and starring Chuck Norris, along with Henry Silva, Molly Hagan, Bert Remsen, and Dennis Farina. Norris portrays Chicago police detective Eddie Cusack, who is caught in a war between rival mob families after a botched sting operation, and must protect a gangster’s daughter. Meanwhile, he is ostracized by his own department for refusing to hold to the blue wall of silence. Originally written as a potential fourth Dirty Harry film, the screenplay by Michael Butler and Dennis Shryack passed through multiple hands before being purchased by Orion Pictures.
