Angus Lo-Chiu CHAN (Entertaining Power Co. Limited)
Sinopsis
LEE Sam (TUNG Wai) was the undisputed king of stunt choreography during the golden era of Hong Kong action cinema in the 80s. After a devastating stunt accident, Sam steps away from the industry for 30 years. However, his old friend, a veteran director, has now persuaded Sam to work as the stunt choreographer on what will be the direc-tor's last film. The only catch is that his film stars Wai (Philip NG) - Sam's former stunt crew member who has since become a famous action star in his own right. Sam and Wai have a con-tentious history, with Sam's infamously overbearing and demanding personality clash-ing with Wai's own ego and ambition. By chance, Sam crosses paths with a young, am-bitious stuntman named LEE Sai Long (Terrance LAU), who sees this as an opportunity to advance his career. Long is caught between Sam and his former protégé turned rival. At the same time, Long helps Sam to reconcile with his estranged daughter, Cherry (Cecilia CHOI). As Sam returns to the world he once dominated, he must confront his past, mend fences with Wai, and overcome their personal conflicts in order to deliver an epic final action spectacle for the director's swan song. However, in the midst of shooting a robbery heist, Sam’s shortsightedness endangers the public, and members of his crew are ar-rested, causing him to be fired. As the pressure mounts and the stakes rise, Sam must decide what he's truly fighting for—reclaiming his former glory or reconnecting with the daughter he's taken for granted.
