★ 6.8/10•1985•2h 14m•R•Action•Crime•Thriller

It isn't the Bronx or Brooklyn, it isn't even New York. It's Chinatown... and it's about to explode.

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.
