Book tickets
Iconic Shaw Brothers actor Ti Lung stars as Ho, a money-launderer for the triads who struggles to keep his criminal activities a secret from his younger brother, police cadet Kit (Leslie Cheung, A Chinese Ghost Story). When Kit finds out after Ho and his loyal friend Mark (Chow Yun-Fat in his breakthrough role) are double-crossed and arrested, he casts him out of his life. Ho vows to go straight, desperate to regain his brother’s love and trust. But when their ruthless former gang put a target on Kit’s back, Ho and Mark must work together to turn the tables on them and finally take them down.
At once a landmark of 1980s Hong Kong cinema and the harbinger of John Woo's future star-studded career, A Better Tomorrow broke the mould with its kinetic action sequences, razor sharp script and breakout performance by Chow Yun-Fat.
