ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThrillerWar100 min
Bruce Lee is Cheng, a young mainland Chinese man who heads to Thailand to work at an ice factory with his expatriate cousins, carrying a family promise to stay out of fights. When relatives begin disappearing after encounters with the factory’s management, Cheng is drawn into a widening conflict that puts his oath of nonviolence under pressure. Maria Yi and James Tien are part of the family and worker circle around him as the story shifts from shop-floor tensions and missing men to direct clashes with the operation’s ruthless bosses.
