While undercover investigator Chen is infiltrated into the triad milieu by Hong Kong's drug squad, the Chinese drug mafia sends young Lau to police school. Without knowing about each other, the two men cross-post information to their employers. Soon, the search for the moles becomes a top priority on both sides. The multi-award-winning cop thriller INFERNAL AFFAIRS is considered a classic of Hong Kong action cinema and inspired Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning film THE DEPARTED. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, ZFF is showing the masterpiece in a newly restored version.
