The City is a 1977 American made-for-television crime drama film starring Robert Forster, Ward Costello, Don Johnson, Jimmy Dean and Mark Hamill. The film was produced as a pilot for a proposed television series that never came to be. It was originally broadcast January 12, 1977, on NBC.
The film is about the day in the life of two detectives (Robert Forster as Lieutenant Matt Lewis, Ward Costello as Captain Lloyd Bryant, and later Don Johnson as Sergeant Brian Scott) in Los Angeles solving (in this particular case) a crime where a man is killed for unknown reasons, coming to find an unstable young man (Mark Hamill as Eugene Banks) with a deep hatred against a famous country singer (Jimmy Dean as Wes Collins).
