Plazadrome: City on Fire (4K)
Ringo Lam’s 1987 heroic bloodshed tour de force CITY ON FIRE stands as a landmark of Hong Kong cinema’s golden age. Blending elements of heist thrillers and undercover cop dramas, CITY ON FIRE—alongside John Woo’s 1986 A BETTER TOMORROW—catapulted Chow Yun-fat to action super-stardom and birthed an entirely new cinematic genre. Often cited as the inspiration for RESERVOIR DOGS, it's as gritty and unrelenting as you imagine: Its raw, documentary-style cinematography and explosive finale cement its status as a neo-noir masterpiece that begs to be seen on the big screen. This newly restored 4K edition from Shout! Studios, sourced from the original camera elements, is part of the Golden Princess movie library recently acquired by the studio. The collection includes 156 highly sought-after classics from Hong Kong’s cinematic heyday, now rescued from years of legal purgatory. As part of the HONG KONG CINEMA CLASSICS retrospective, The Plaza and Tara Theatres will proudly screen nine of these restorations throughout September and October 2025. — Ko Chow is about to resign from the police force when he is asked to take on one more case. He is to go undercover in a gang that is robbing jewellery stores. He accepts the task and successfully infiltrates the gang. It is a very dangerous mission, not just because the gang might discover his true identity but because many of the police suspect he may well be a criminal.Action | Hong KongPT1H45MR2025-09-18Chow Yun-Fat
