1906. The late Qing Dynasty was the dark age when the Qing court madly assassinated the "revolutionary party".
65438+ 10 month 15. Sun Yat-sen, the revolutionary leader, decided to venture to visit his mother in Hong Kong, but actually he met revolutionary representatives from thirteen provinces. This is a great opportunity for the Qing court to "assassinate Sun thief". General Yan (Hu Jun) bribed the Hong Kong police and weaved an "encirclement that stabbed Sun to death" in Hong Kong. As a revolutionary, Chen Shaobai (Tony Leung Ka Fai), president of China Daily, must complete the task of defending Sun Yat-sen within 1 hour.
Li Yutang, a big businessman, is an old friend and has been secretly supporting Chen's revolutionary work for many years. 65438+ 10 On the eve of May 65438+,Li Yutang was admitted to a banquet hosted by Yale University for his only son Li Zhongguang (Wang Baijie), 17 years old. Chen Shaobai came to the door, hoping that he could contribute to Sun Yat-sen's visit to Hong Kong. When Li Yutang later discovered that his son's shigemitsu was also influenced by revolutionary ideas, he not only refused to invest again, but also wanted to break with Chen.
However, at this time, the general Yan of the Qing Dynasty and his men killed all the troupe leaders (Yam Tat-wah) and all the troupe personnel and imprisoned them. In the face of Chen Shaobai's disappearance and constant attacks on Hong Kong revolutionary strongholds such as The China Journal, Li Yutang cannot stand idly by. He decided to complete Chen Shaobai's entrustment before his disappearance, take on the command of "protecting his grandson", and seek all kinds of talents among the people to protect the coming Hong Kong.
Hong Kong, the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Liu Yubai (Dawn), once the son of a nobleman, is now a beggar; A Si (), a "coachman" loyal to the Li family and his son; Fang Hong (Chris Lee), a troupe who wants to avenge his father's death, hits a girl; Wang Fuming (Bater), a "vendor" who was driven out of the mountain gate by South Shaolin and now sells fried stinky tofu for a living; They are stunted, although they don't understand the true meaning and tragic of the "revolution", but they joined the team to defend Sun Yat-sen for various reasons.
However, Shen Chongyang (Donnie Yen), a gambler who accomplished nothing, finally took on an important guard job because of his complicated feud with Li Yutang's concubine Yueru (Fan Bingbing).
Even the cunning police chief of China, Shi Mifu (Ceng Zhiwei), is deeply infected and secretly helps the security work. 15 The day before, Chen Shaobai ventured out of prison and returned to the team defending the revolution. Li Yutang didn't know that his beloved son, Li Zhongguang, had become body double, and was chosen by lot to play Sun Yat-sen in this anti-assassination operation.
15 days. Sun Yat-sen arrived in Hong Kong. Yan's killer team approached the guards one by one. The two sides launched a thrilling "urban hunting".
Eventually, Sun Yat-sen left the country safely, and Hong Kong behind him was covered with the blood of bodyguards and killers. Within a year, the national revolution broke out one after another. 19 1 1 year, the revolution of 1911 broke out.
