The Black Sheep (1992 film)

The Black Sheep is a 1992 American comedy-drama film directed by Harley Cokeliss and starring Michael Beck, Ann Jillian, and Allen Garfield. The film revolves around a Vietnam veteran and former Los Angeles cop, John Shepherd (Michael Beck), who moves to a small town in Wyoming for a quieter life. He soon finds himself reluctantly drawn into investigating a series of mysterious disappearances and deaths, suspecting a local sheep rancher is involved. The film explores themes of prejudice against veterans, the struggle to adapt to civilian life after military service, and the hidden dangers within seemingly idyllic communities. Though marketed as an action-comedy, it features darker elements and a more serious tone than typical comedies of the time.
