Summary of A Better Tomorrow

A death-hardened cop (Leslie Cheung) battles the Hong Kong underworld, including his own brother (Ti Lung), who joins the bad guys and his former partner in crime (Yun-Fat Chow). This progenitor of Woo's "heroic violence" films introduces the theme of loyalties between men shattered by a violent world that forces them apart. Only through sacrifice can honor be attained.
