Kindergarten Cop (Arnold Schwarzenegger)

Kindergarten Cop is a 1990 American action comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and distributed by Universal Pictures. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as John Kimble, a tough-as-nails Los Angeles police detective working undercover as a kindergarten teacher to locate the wife and child of drug dealer Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson), who are living under assumed identities. Pamela Reed, Penelope Ann Miller, Linda Hunt, Carroll Baker and Cathy Moriarty co-star. The original music score was composed by Randy Edelman. The film marked the second collaboration for Reitman and Schwarzenegger, succeeding Twins (1988).

After years of pursuing infamous drug lord Cullen Crisp Sr., LAPD Police Detective John Kimble arrests Crisp for murder, as the call woman Cindy witnessed Crisp gun down an informant in the back of a shopping mall. The man had given him information regarding the whereabouts of his former wife Rachel. Crisp claims that she stole $3 million from him, before fleeing with their son Cullen Crisp Jr, and going into hiding.

Partnered with fellow detective Phoebe O'Hara, Kimble is sent to Astoria, Oregon, to identify Rachel and offer her immunity in exchange for testifying against Crisp in court. O'Hara is tasked with finding Rachel via her son by posing as a newly hired substitute teacher in kindergarten class at Astoria Elementary School. Both colleagues get to know each other — Kimble is divorced and has a 13-year-old son named Alex, with whom he has not had contact in years after his ex-wife remarried, and O'Hara is dating a chef — and become friends. However, she is incapacitated by severe gastroenteritis, so Kimble is forced to step in as the teacher.
