简介
这是一个就发生在你我身边的故事，一群再平常不过的小人物身上饱含辛酸又充满渴望的故事。松江市，一个东北边陲的小城。一群来自全国各地的农民工为了生存，来到了这里，他们把汗水浸透在城市人未来的梦榻上——“香榭丽舍”这个城市最现代化的高级公寓的建筑工地上，在这个民工心目中可望而不可及，甚至不敢想象的幸福生活的殿堂的建设中，他们像仰望着一天天高耸的塔楼一样仰望着自己的渴望。而在这座未来富丽堂皇的幸福殿堂的旁边，是他们栖息的简陋工棚。工棚里，上百名民工们围着工长谢老大质问发工钱的事，谢老大无奈地告诉大家，答应今天付钱的负责人张彪根本就没有出现。气急败坏的民工不相信谢老大的话，他们砸开了办公室的门，却发现里面空空如也……血汗工资无情地被非法挪用，民工得以养家糊口的工钱被无期限地拖延，为了生计，被迫集体追讨，可是他们讨来的却是暴力威胁和致命的恐吓，这群缺乏人文关怀的弱势群体的生命危在旦夕……。St. Jude Square is a neighborhood living in fear and despair. The dueling gangs of local kingpins Dash and Antuan terrorize the streets and the citizens live without a shred of hope... until mysterious stranger Ryan Hong (Cung Le) arrives in town. He begins to play one gang against the other using his unparalleled martial arts skills, and by calling on the teachings of his brilliant mentor Tiano (Jean-Claude Van Damme) to find the strength to battle back. However, just as he begins to bring the community under control, Hong is confronted by Mr. V, the town's ruthless and corrupt police chief. At first Mr. V is impressed by Hong's skill, but soon sees Hong as a threat to his regime, and the two warriors are locked in a head-to-head battle, pitting the fear and corruption of Mr. V's regime versus the new beginning Hong represents for the people of St. Jude Square.。
