Description

"The only Hong Kongentry at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival."

When an ambulatory TV news unit live broadcasts the embarrassing defeat of a police battalion by five bank robbers in a ballistic showdown, the credibility of the police force drops to a nadir. Vowing to capture the robbers at all costs, the policemen in the whole city, some thirty thousand of them, are mobilized to patrol every possible exit route and city border.

While on a separate investigation in a run-down building, detective Heng (Nick Cheung) of the Organized Crime And Triad Bureau accidentally discovers the hideout of the robbers. Led by the ultra-cool Yuan (Richie Jen), the five-man gang soon find the building besieged by thousands of policemen. Heng and his men have also entered the building, getting ready to take their foes out at any minute.

Meanwhile, in order to beat the media at its own game, Inspector Rebecca (Kelly Chen) decides to turn the stakeout into a breaking news show. Entering the building accompanied by officers with wireless cameras atop their helmets, she promises to feed live footagestraight to TV sets around the city, eager to devour the latest action in real time...
