Edited sentence: Ferrara then worked on two Michael Mann-produced television series, directing the 2-hour pilot for the cult classic Crime Story (aired 18 September 1986), starring Dennis Farina, along with two episodes of the popular series Miami Vice: "The Home Invaders" (aired 15 March 1985, in season 1) and "The Dutch Oven" (aired 25 October 1985, in season 2).In the pilot for the short-lived but highly-regarded Crime Story series, Ferrara's work includes a spectacular gunfight scene captured in a single sweeping crane shot, recalling the work of Howard Hawks or Sam Peckinpah
