Upon returning to LA to investigate the death of his former boss, Axel Foley (Murphy) uncovers an underworld of murder and corruption headquartered at the Wonderworld Amusement Park. Landis said, of directing the film: “I was attracted by the marvelous premise of a murder in Disneyland, a subversive idea. And I couldn't resist the thought of creating a world of wonders, immersed in illusion.”
