Plot
The film was based on a true abduction case.
Ruthless criminal Zhang Hua (Wang Qianyuan) and his gang impersonate as police officers to abduct wealthy businessmen. They hit the jackpot with Hong Kong film star Mr Wu (Andy Lau), forcing him into their car.
Wu was forced to make a call to his old friend Mr. Su and asks him to ensure that he is alive before delivering RMB3 million. Wu’s calm, intelligence and dignity in the face of death earns Zhang’s respect.
Meanwhile, police vice captain Xing Feng (Liu Ye) and captain Cao Gang (Wu Ruofu) have formed an anti-kidnap task force. After a series of tip-offs, they detain Zhang when he leaves the apartment of his mistress. But Zhang refuses to give up Wu’s location without a pardon. The police then stage a final desperate rescue attempt, narrowly saving Wu.
