A highly decorated New York cop sets out to rid corrupt Chinatown of its deep-rooted drug cartels, but it soon appears he's bitten off more than he can chew. Michael Cimino's crime thriller, starring Mickey Rourke, John Lone and Leonard Termo.

In New York, racist Capt. Stanley White becomes obsessed with destroying a Chinese-American drug ring run by Joey Tai, an up-and-coming young gangster as ambitious as he is ruthless. While pursuing an unauthorized investigation, White grows increasingly willing to violate police protocol, resorting to progressively violent measures -- even as his concerned wife, Connie, and his superiors beg him to consider the consequences of his actions.
