Culture Shock: A Better Tomorrow [4K Restoration]

18

John Woo’s Hong Kong action classic returns to the big screen in a hail of bullets for its 40th anniversary.

A reforming ex-gangster tries to reconcile with his estranged policeman brother, but the ties to his former gang are difficult to break. Exploding out of Hong Kong in 1986, A Better Tomorrow established director John Woo as the master of the heroic bloodshed genre and made a megastar of lead actor Chow Yun-fat.
