Synopsis:

*********THIS DVD'S DESCRIPTION HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED YET********
After a disastrous failure to stop a robber gang, the police attempt to redeem themselves through a series of publicity stunts and shootouts.

When an ambulatory TV news unit live broadcasts the embarrassing defeat of a police battalion by five bank robbers in a ballistic showdown, the credibility of the police force drops to a nadir. While on a separate investigation in a run-down building, detective Cheung discovers the hideout of the robbers. Cheung and his men have also entered the building, getting ready to take their foes out any minute. Meanwhile, in order to beat the media at its own game, Inspector Rebecca decides to turn the stakeout into a breaking news show.

When robbers take over a building, Inspector Rebecca seizes the chance to
raise the plummeting police image by turning the stakeout into a breaking news
show, sending officers into the building with cameras on their helmets. But the
robbers soon catch on and adopt similar tactics, with a resulting media warfare
amidst the bullets. (Synopsis)
