16 Blocks is a 2006 film directed by Richard Donner and released by Warner Bros. It was released in the United States on March 3, 2006. The main characters are played by Bruce Willis, Mos Def, and David Morse. The film is shot in the "real time" narration method.
The plot holds a strong resemblance to the story of the Clint Eastwood film The Gauntlet (also from Warner Bros.) with both films being about an alcoholic detective escorting a loud-mouthed witness, only to find that the city's police force want the witness dead. Both films end with the protagonists driving a city bus through a gauntlet of police officers.
Willis originally wanted rapper Ludacris to play the part of Eddie Bunker.[2] This is the second film where David Morse plays the villain to Bruce Willis as the protagonist. The first was Twelve Monkeys in which Morse plays Dr. Peters.
