Back to the Streets of San Francisco is a 1992 American made-for-television crime drama film based on the 1972–1977 series The Streets of San Francisco starring Karl Malden as police detective Mike Stone and Darleen Carr as his daughter Jeannie; both are cast members of the original show. The film was directed by Mel Damski.^[1] It was broadcast on NBC on January 27, 1992.

Plot[]

The plot involves the efforts of Mike Stone (newly promoted to Captain of Inspectors) to solve the murder of his old partner, Steve Keller. Since Keller is dead, the absence of the actor who played him in the series, Michael Douglas, who chose not to appear in the film, has a built-in explanation. Keller does, however, appear via flashbacks from the original show as well as being in a framed picture on Stone's desk.

At the same time, Stone is trying to decide which of two competing inspectors, Sarah Burns or David O'Connor, should take his place as the lieutenant in charge of Homicide.
