R.I.P.D. is a 2013 3D American supernatural comedy film directed
by Robert Schwentke, based on the comic book Rest in Peace Department by Peter
M. Lenkov and published by Dark Horse Entertainment. The film stars Ryan
Reynolds and Jeff Bridges as Nick Walker and Roy Pulsipher.
Boston Police
Department Detectives Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds) and Bobby Hayes (Kevin Bacon)
steal a chest full of gold found during a drug bust, and Nick buries his share
of the gold in his backyard, intending to use it to create a better life for
himself and his wife, Julia (Stephanie Szostak). However, he regrets his
decision and informs Hayes he intends to return the gold. Later, during a raid
on a warehouse, Nick and Hayes get into a shootout with criminals, and Hayes
kills Nick to prevent him from returning the gold, framing one of the criminals
for the murder.
Nick awakens in
the office of Mildred Proctor (Mary-Louise Parker), director of the Rest In
Peace Department (R.I.P.D.), an agency that recruits deceased police officers
to patrol the afterlife and capture "Deados", spirits that refuse to
cross over and return to Earth as monstrous ghosts. Nick agrees to join the
R.I.P.D. after Proctor promises to help him reunite with Julia and meets his
new partner, Roy Pulsipher (Jeff Bridges), an ex-U.S. Marshal who lived in the
1800's.
