Raw Deal is 1986 action film directed by John Irvin the film begins showing a remote wooded cabin where a mob informant with information on Luigi Patrovita (Sam Wanamaker) the strongest of the Chicago Mafia Dons is being protected by FBI bodyguards. They are ambushed by a hit squad armed with automatic weapons who brutally slaughter the bodyguards and the witness. One of the agents killed while protecting the informant was Blair Shannon, son of FBI Chief Harry Shannon (Darren McGavin) who vows revenge.  Small town sheriff Mark Kaminsky (Schwarzenegger) goes home to his wife who is angry at what their lives have been reduced to and in a drunken fit, She throws a cake at Mark who once worked for the FBI, but five years before he brutally beat a suspect who molested, murdered and mutilated a young girl. He was given the option to “resign or be prosecuted” by the ambitious prosecutor Marvin Baxter (Joe Regalbuto) who is now Special Federal Prosecutor heading up a committee looking into the dealings of mobster Luigi Patrovita.  Shannon calls Kaminsky in on a secret assignment to infiltrate Patrovita’s organization and “tear it up”  from the inside. Harry can’t do anything officially because the FBI has a leak who has been getting agents killed which is why Kaminsky must go in secret. Harry dangles the prospect of Kaminsky being reinstated with the FBI, leading to Kaminsky to fake his own death in a chemical plant explosion and posing as a convicted felon Joseph P Brenner.  Kaminsky manages to get an audience with Patrovita’s right hand man Rocca (Paul Shenar) and convinces them of his worth by harassing Martin Lamanski a rival mob boss who is trying to move in on Patrovita’s territory. While at Rocca’s underground casino, Kaminsky makes the acquaintance of Monique (Kathryn Harrold) a woman who works for Rocca’s top lieutenant Max Keller (Robert Davi).  Kaminsky continues to work his way into the good graces of the Patrovita family, including devising a plan that recovers $100 million of heroin and cash seized by the feds from one of Patrovita’s hideouts and assisting in Lamanski’s assassination. Keller isn’t convinced that Brenner is all what he says he is. Keller eventually manages to find proof of the deception, showing Kaminsky’s photo to a police informant who arrested the real Brenner in the past.  The leak the FBI has been looking for is none other than Baxter, who is forced to stay close to Patrovita. Kaminsky accompanies Keller to a cemetery for a hit but finds out that the target is Harry Shannon, which causes him to blow his cover.  Kaminsky and Shannon manage to kill Keller and the other hit man who came along, but not without Shannon being shot and severely wounded.  Kaminsky escapes he then suits up he gathers an arsenal of firearms and raids one of Patrovita’s gravel pits, eventually killing everyone and walking off with the cash left behind.  He hands a duffel bag containing $250,000 in cash to Monique and gets her on a chartered plane telling her she is free and to start a new life with no obligations to anyone. He then sets off to Patrovita’s casino, hidden in a basement level of a high class hotel. There he single handily wipes out all of Patrovita’s soldiers including the men directly responsible for the murder of Blair Shannon and his fellow FBI agents. Rocca and Patrovita flee to a back room, but before they can do anything Rocca is cut down in a barrage of gunfire. Patrovita flees into an office pleading for his life, but Brenner mercilessly guns him down and leaves his body sprawled on a table. On his way out, he encounters a whimpering Baxter and offers him a gun with the same line Baxter gave him five years earlier “Resign or be prosecuted Any way you want it.” Kaminsky starts to walk off and when Baxter attempts to shoot him Kaminsky turns and shoots Baxter in self defense.  Kaminsky visits Shannon in a hospital who was crippled as a result of the gunshot wound to his back, he has been refusing any therapy or rehabilitation and is more embittered than before and sarcastically suicidal.  At one point he tells his nurse to take him back to his room or push him into oncoming traffic for his impending death. Kaminsky has been reinstated into the FBI and his reunion with his wife has now led to Amy being pregnant. Kaminsky wants Shannon to be godfather to his child, but only if Shannon will attempt to walk. Shannon at first cannot walk easily and angrily asks Kaminsky to leave him be.  Kaminsky tells Shannon he must show the same strength that made him a good father to Blair. Inspired by the love for his son and his gratitude to Kaminski Shannon makes a strong effort and eventually manages to walk a few feet on his own, embraced by a smiling Kaminsky.
