Spoilers ahead
Two former partners, King Kong [Sam Hui] and Baldy [Karl Maka], part ways in 1986 after a botched mission in Thailand in which an infamous want-to-be husband hired the Aces to kidnap a woman on her way to marry him. Three years later, the transport of priceless artifacts—the Terracotta Army figures and a Qin Dynasty bronze sword known as the Chinese Excalibur—is interrupted by a bold heist that makes front-page headlines. Based on the pictures splashed across the media, the two men are painted as the culprits, even as their businesses falter: King Kong runs an investment company burning money, while Baldy hides aboard a Sai Kung houseboat to dodge mounting creditors.
