Terry Hoitz's past mistakes in the line of duty and Allen Gamble's
reluctance to take risks have landed them the roles of the "Other Guys",
disgraced New York City police detectives relegated to filling out
paperwork for cocky hero cops Danson and Highsmith. The mismatched duo
must look past their differences when they take on a high-profile
investigation of shady capitalist David Ershon and attempt to fill the
shoes of the notoriously reckless officers they idolize.

NYPD Detectives Christopher Danson and P.K. Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson
and Samuel L. Jackson) are the baddest and most beloved cops in New York
City. They don't get tattoos - other men get tattoos of them. Two desks
over and one back, sit Detectives Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry
Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg). You've seen them in the background of photos of
Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They're not heroes -
they're "the Other Guys." But every cop has his or her day and soon
Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other
detective wants to touch that could turn into New York City's biggest
crime. It's the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the
right stuff?
