Hero (1997)

At the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, brothers Ma Wing Jing and Ma Tai Chueng set foot in the bustling city of Shanghai, their eyes gleaming with the promise of fortune. Deftly navigating the labyrinthine underworld, they cross paths with the formidable mobster, Tam Sei. A chance act of bravery sees Ma Wing Jing saving Tam Sei's life, fostering an unexpected friendship and earning Wing Jing a coveted nightclub. However, power in Shanghai is a volatile game. Another gangster, eyes glowing with greed, covets the nightclub and the lucrative territory it commands. As the city's neon lights flicker, they cast long shadows of corruption and violence. The brothers and their newfound ally, Tam Sei, are plunged into a maelstrom of rival gang wars and police corruption, where alliances are as fickle as fortunes. This gripping narrative, a reimagination of Chang Cheh's 'Boxer From Shantung' by visionary director Corey Yuen, sees the charismatic Taiwanese-Japanese actor, Takeshi Kaneshiro, in the role of Ma Wing-jing: a humble worker turned triad titan. 'Hero' is a riveting tale of ambition, power, and survival in the tumultuous underworld of Shanghai.
