In 2017, Hong Kong's newly appointed Secretary for Security, M.B. Lee (Tony Leung Ka Fai), vanishes without a trace. Desperate for answers, Commissioner of Police Sean Lau (Aaron Kwok) turns to Senior Counsel Oswald Kan (Chow Yun Fat), who unlocks a long-sealed classified file from 1994 — one that holds the key to the crisis unfolding two decades later. Flashback to 1994, before Hong Kong’s handover to China. As the Special Branch of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force prepares to disband, the kidnapping of a powerful business tycoon ignites a dangerous covert power struggle within the force. Caught in the conflict are two officers: the passionate and righteous M.B. Lee (Terrance Lau) and the cold-blooded and ambitious Peter Choi (Daniel Wu). Four formidable factions — the city’s wealthiest family, the Poon’s (Tse Kwan Ho and Wu Kang Ren), the police, the triads, and the British authorities — are drawn into a deadly vortex of ambition, betrayal, and hidden agendas. As old alliances fracture and new ones form, Hong Kong stands on the brink of a seismic power reshuffle that will cast a long shadow into the future. From award-winning director Longman Leung comes “Cold War 1994”, an epic prequel to the acclaimed “Cold War” series, featuring an unprecedented cast of ten Film Awards’ Best Actor winners. A spectacular cinematic event, set to debut in Hong Kong later this year.
