Cobra is a 1986 American action film directed by George P. Cosmatos and written by Sylvester Stallone, who stars in the title role. The film, loosely based on the 1974 novel A Running Duck by Paula Gosling (later published as Fair Game and filmed under that title in 1995), co-stars Reni Santoni, Brigitte Nielsen and Andrew Robinson. Cobra follows Los Angeles police Lt. Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, who investigates a string of violent crimes and also protects Ingrid Knudsen, a witness targeted by the perpetrators.
Cobra is the final film which featured the collaboration between Stallone and Nielsen after Rocky IV (1985) until Creed II (2018), and the only film the pair are both featured in while married to one another in real life, before their divorce a year later. The script was largely inspired by Stallone's original script for Beverly Hills Cop (1984).
