*The Iron Commissioner* (*Il commissario di ferro*) is a 1978 Italian poliziottesco film directed by Stelvio Massi. The story follows Commissioner Mauro Mariani (Maurizio Merli), known for his strict approach to law enforcement and tendency to act independently. His methods lead to his reassignment to a quieter district, where he faces a personal crisis when his son is kidnapped by a man seeking revenge for his father's death. The film explores themes of justice, personal sacrifice, and the emotional toll of law enforcement work. Despite its modest budget, the film delivers a compelling narrative and features strong performances, particularly from Merli.
