Hong Kong's premier blockbuster director Benny Chan (Connected) makes use of his action expertise to pave the road for a new generation of Chinese science-fiction films with City Under Siege. A mix of X-Men, X-files, and Hong Kong-style genre filmmaking, the entertaining sci-fi action film pits a naïve circus performer against his dangerous colleagues who gain superhuman powers after being contaminated with a biochemical. Heavenly king Aaron Kwok leads a superpower cast that also includes Shu Qi, Wu Jing (SPL), Zhang Jingchu (Aftershock), and Colin Chou (Flash Point). Also featuring explosive action sequences by action directors Nicky Lee (Invisible Target) and Ma Yuk Sing (Storm Warriors), City Under Siege is an exciting, crowd-pleasing good time at the movies.
Sunny (Aaron Kwok) is a naïve circus performer who dreams of inheriting his father's knife-throwing skills. However, his hostile colleagues continue to bully him, relegating him to a lowly clown. On a tour to Malaysia, Cheung (Colin Chou) and other performers discover a cave occupied by the Japanese army during World War II. Instead of finding treasure, the performers - including Sunny - are sprayed with a mysterious chemical that turns them into superhuman mutants. Back in Hong Kong, Cheung and his gang wreak havoc on the city by pulling off a series of daring bank robberies. With the city gripped by fear, Sunny becomes the city's latest crime fighting hero with the help of opportunistic reporter Angel (Shu Qi) and two supernatural phenomenon experts from China (Wu Jing and Zhang Jingchu).
