Training Day is a 2001 police drama film directed by Antoine Fuqua, written by David Ayer and starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. The film follows two LAPD narcotics detectives over a 24-hour period in the gang neighborhoods of South Los Angeles and East Los Angeles.

The film was a box office success and earned mostly positive critical appraisals. Washington's performance, a departure from his usual roles, was particularly praised, and earned him a Best Actor Oscar at the Academy Awards.

The film follows a single day in the life of a LAPD cop, Jake Hoyt (Hawke). A married man with a baby daughter, Jake is scheduled to be evaluated by Detective Alonzo Harris (Washington), a highly decorated LAPD narcotics officer who could advance Jake's career.

The two meet at a diner for breakfast where Alonzo asks Jake for a story. Jake tells about a potentially dangerous traffic stop he and a female training officer made. Alonzo is unimpressed because after a year with an attractive female officer Jake has no tales of sexual exploits.
