Summary
Starring action superstars Jackie Chan and Tony Leung (The Grandmaster) Tony Leung is Andy, a cop sent to a corrupt prison camp known as the "Island On Fire", where prisoners are abused by staff and used as hitmen for killing drug dealers. Paying homage to both 'Cool Hand Luke' and 'The Wild Geese', and featuring action legends Sammo Hung (Martial Law) and Jimmy Wong Yu (The One Armed Swordsman), this powerful action-drama recounts the experiences of four honourable men drawn together by fate in a corrupt prison regime. Fighting not only for their freedom but their lives too
