Synopsis
John Frankenheimer directs Oscar nominee Roy Scheider in this hard-boiled thriller, based on a novel by Elmore Leonard, as wealthy metallurgist Harry Mitchell who lives to regret his extramarital affair with pretty young Cini (Kelly Preston).

When a trio of vicious blackmailers (John Glover, Robert Trebor, Clarence Williams III) show Mitchell a videotape of his most recent roll in the sack and demand a huge amount of hush money, he calls their bluff, going so far as to tell his politically ambitious wife Barbara (Ann-Margret) about the affair. Mitchell refuses to pay up, entering into a grim battle of wills with the extortionists.

Trivia: 52 Pick Up was previously filmed in 1984 as The Ambassador; Porn stars Amber Lynn, Sharon Mitchell and Ron Jeremy appear in the film in the party sequence.
