Gorky Park is a 1983 American mystery thriller film directed by Michael Apted and starring William Hurt, Lee Marvin, Brian Dennehy, Ian Bannen, Rikki Fulton, Richard Griffiths, Michael Elphick, and Joanna Pacuła. An adaptation of the 1981 novel by Martin Cruz Smith, it follows Moscow police investigator Arkady Renko (Hurt) on the trail of a gruesome triple murder that leads him into a web of government corruption. Upon release, Gorky Park was a box office disappointment, barely earning back its $15 million budget, but received positive reviews from critics. Pacuła was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture and Elphick for a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor. Dennis Potter won a 1984 Edgar Award for his screenplay for the film.
