A dark and tense journey into the perilous night
As the lights go down on the dangerous streets of Hong Kong, police forces and street gangs will meet with the cruel hand of fate as the latest Dragon Dynasty release, PTU: Police Tactical Unit debuts on DVD.
The martial arts masterpiece boasts an assortment of awards for renowned director Johnny To (The Mission, Running Out of Time) including Best Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Asian Trade Winds Award at the Seattle International Film Festival, and the Special Jury Prize at the Cognac Festival du Film Policier.

After a gang leader is mysteriously murdered and a sergeant, in pursuit of a suspect, loses his gun, a tenacious police tactical unit and their iron-willed leader find themselves in the middle of a war between two gangs, building towards an explosive and violent conclusion.
Gritty, stylish and unpredictable, the PTU: Police Tactical Unit DVD features all-new exclusive content, including a feature commentary and several interviews, and will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.97.
