Raked in 47.5% more revenue than its production cost!
According to several reports, The Naked Gun was made on a budget of $42 million, which is a decent amount for making a movie like this.

As per industry’s rule it needs around $105 million to break even at the box office, which is quite an achievable task for this film as it has a good pace overall.
What is the plot of the film?
The film follows bumbling detective Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) as he investigates a suspicious death that unravels into a conspiracy involving a dangerous gadget called the P.L.O.T. Device. Teaming up with Beth (Pamela Anderson), he must stop a power-hungry villain while keeping his chaotic police precinct from collapsing—all amid a whirlwind of slapstick gags, spoofs, and absurd mishaps.
