Magnum, P.I. is an American action-comedy film based on the 1980–1988 television series of the same name created by Donald Bellisario and Glen Larson. The film is set in present day. Similar to other "based on TV series" movies such as Chips, The Dukes of Hazard, and Starsky & Hutch. A drug deal goes wrong in the 9th inning of a Detroit Tigers baseball game. With only minutes left in the game, Thomas Magnum, recently retired Navy SEAL, decides to leave early since the Cleveland Indians are practically murdering his beloved Tigers. While departing Comerica Park he overhears a conversation in the back alley of the parking garage. A kingpin cocaine dealer from Oahu, Hawaii guns down three undercover FBI agents and steals $800 million dollars worth of cocaine. Thomas Magnum is the only surviving witness. The FBI stations Magnum in a Hawaiian mansion called the Robin's Nest. He is given strict orders to blend in with the local Hawaii citizens and only follow the FBI's commands. Magnum completely ignores these orders by wearing a Detroit Tigers ball cap, an extremely vibrant Aloha shirt, and a pair of aviators. Arriving at the mansion, Magnum is introduced to Jonathan Higgins, an ex-British Army Sergeant that has been hired by the mansions owner, Robin Masters, to over look the property while Magnum is staying. Magnum is like a kid in a candy store; while Higgins is very stern and takes the rules very seriously. The FBI also stations two former Marines on the island to help Magnum track down the cocaine kingpin. T.C. Calvin, one of the Marines, is given the backstory of a local helicopter pilot who owns a helicopter tour business called the Island Hoppers. Rick Wright, the other Marine, is given the backstory of a local bar owner. The three men must come together and help the FBI bust the kingpin, Akamu Lawson, and his cocaine smuggling buddies.
