Spoilers ahead
While undercover at Ayers Rock, Bob Taylor of the Australian Federal Narcotics Bureau confronts Win Chan, a Chinese drug courier, and his partner; Chan gives chase, leading to a brutal fight on top of the site, where Taylor ultimately defeats him, while his partner is killed when a car crashes and explodes after a police helicopter pursues them.
Due to Chan’s refusal to cooperate and his inability to speak English, the Royal Hong Kong Police Force drafts one of its finest Special Branch officers, Fang Sing Leng—a polyglot, a deadly kung fu practitioner, and an expert marksman—to assist Taylor and his partner, Morrie Grosse, in bringing Chan to justice.
