Arrow Video is proud to announce a brand new 4K restoration of Ringo Lam’s superb crime thriller City on Fire, starring Hong Kong action cinema superstar Chow Yun Fat. The film is showing in cinemas from November 14, and will be released on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and Digital in the UK from December 1.

After the success of John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow, lead actor Chow Yun Fat cemented his reputation as Hong Kong’s hottest new action film megastar with his electrifying performance in Ringo Lam’s City on Fire, one of the most beloved examples of the ‘heroic bloodshed’ subgenre. Here he stars as an undercover cop trying to infiltrate a gang of violent jewel thieves.

A marked influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, Lam’s gritty and dynamic crime thriller has been restored from the original negative and is finally unleashed on home video again in all its lethal fury, looking and sounding more spectacular than ever before.
Synopsis: Ko (Chow Yun Fat) is an undercover cop on one last job, assigned to infiltrate a gang of jewel thieves committing armed robberies across Hong Kong. When another police officer is killed in the line of duty during one of the gang’s heists, Ko finds himself caught in the crossfire between the police force desperate to catch the culprits at any cost, and the trigger-happy thieves who begin to smell a rat in their midst. As the bullets fly and the body count rises, Ko’s only hope for survival might be his burgeoning friendship with weary gang member Fu (Danny Lee)…

City on Fire is released in UK cinemas on 14th November

Available to own on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and Digital from 1st December
