SYNOPSIS
On the hottest day in fifty years,
Keung (Louis Koo) hosted a celebration party as his fire alarm company’s value
exceeded 1 billion. An ex-firefighter who quitted three years ago and started
his own business, Keung witnessed the occasion turning into a major disaster
because of a dreadful phenomenon known as flashover. His office burst into
flames without any sign and the joyful party became a panicky escape.
The fire funneled up and ignited one
floor after another as Keung and others were trapped in an inferno. Watching
people die right on the spot, Keung re-discovered his repressed passion for
saving life. He decided to bring people up to the refuge floor and wait for
rescue. Meanwhile, he made a call to someone he had estranged from long ago –
his elder brother Dai Kwan.
Dai Kwan
(Sean Lau), a chief fire captain, had arrived at the scene long ago and
coordinated the rescue. Dai Kwan told Keung to follow an escape route but it
didn’t work without equipment, Keung then decided to take a chance and find his
own way out. He was surprised to see Si Lok (Lee Sinje), Dai Kwan’s wife, among
the people. Keung considered her part of his family and would do anything to
protect her.
Keung led the people to the refuge
floor but it turned out to be another dead end – malign businessmen illegally
stocked a vast volume of harmful chemicals there. Because of the intense heat,
corrosive fumes were released into the air. Dai Kwan and other firefighters
finally arrived at the refuge floor and took the victims out as the clock
ticked. Keung saw Dai Kwan put Si Lok among those with the lowest priority to
leave and he couldn’t suppress his hatred toward his brother anymore.
Keung had
no choice but to work closely with Dai Kwan again in a quest for life. Keung
was very familiar with the building and Dai Kwan let him take the people in
search of a way out. At one point, the chance looked good that all victims
would be saved. But it made a turn for the worse as they felt a violent shake
and the whole floor tumbled down. Both Keung and Dai Kwan fell, but luckily
they survived it. The firefighting mission had been going on from day till
night. The building’s mechanical couldn’t stand the heat at last and ended up
exploding leading to a blackout. Keung then found depth of water collected the
bottom of the elevator shaft because of the hours of watering. They decided to
dive into the waterlogged elevator shaft to open the jammed elevator doors at
the bottom, in hope that the water would extinguish the fire. But the elevator
car was about to fall down to crush them. From the outside of the building,
people saw a big explosion, upper floors collapsing and a cloud of smoke
escaping through the main entrance. People held their breath and waited
nervously…
