An explosive crime-drama that caused a sensation upon its release. Audiences gasped for breath from the bloodshed and violence, yet were deeply moved by the fraternal bond between the two leading characters. Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung are riveting as the inmates who get involved with the intracacies of the prision system.
Inside a Chinese prison two inmates form a friendship and face the difficulty of life on the inside.
Tony Leung stars as Yiu, who has been jailed for manslaughter. Chow Yun Fat stars as Ching, another prisoner also jailed for manslaughter. Ching is a good-natured prisoner who tries to make the best of his situation, and helps naive Yiu out.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a familiar story of the savagery of prison life, as Yiu &amp; Ching must deal with intra-prison triads and a sadistic warden.<br/><br/>The pressure of these elements pushes them to the edge, and by the end of the movie, Ching &amp; Yiu completely lose it. This is a very violent and uncomfortable movie to watch. The storyline doesn&#39;t make any profound social observations. But Chow Yun Fat&#39;s acting is very intense: he really turns into a bug-eyed wild animal. And Tony Leung is good as a man who would easily fall apart in such an environment if not for Ching&#39;s support.<br/><br/>The movie also has other Ringo Lam regulars like Tommy Wong &amp; Roy Cheung (playing Billy &amp; Officer Hung, respectively.)
There are lots of prison movies around, Tango and Cash, Lockup, and Shawshank Redemption. Prison on Fire probably comes much closer to Lockup than the others as in these two movies the people in prison are guilty for their crimes. Prison on Fire was released before Lockup and has a look at the three year sentence of a man in a Hong Kong gaol.<br/><br/>The man which the film centres around is not a hardened criminal, he just was protecting his father when a group of thugs tried to steal food from his store. The thugs beat up his father and he ran then down and kicked one in front of a bus. The charge was involuntary manslaughter.<br/><br/>Prison on Fire looks at the politics that goes on in a Hong Kong gaol and is much more colourful than an American film. The gangs that operate on the street operate in the gaol as well and if you are not part of a gang then you are likely to be used as a scapegoat. As is expected for a gaol, there is a lot of violence and fighting between the gangs, and the man, who is not involved, gets caught up in the power struggle as a scapegoat. He is not a fighter and thus is lucky that Ching (Chow-Yun-Fat) who is also neutral, helps him out.<br/><br/>The movie focuses on this man and the struggles that he faces in gaol. His relationship with his girlfriend is examined as she struggles to wait for him to be released. He also faces potentially loosing her as she moves to England to study and it seems like she is going to run off with her tutor. There is also the struggle with the prison guards as they use him to extract information from the gang bosses.<br/><br/>There is a bad guy in this movie and that is a Triad boss named Marcus. Marcus is at war with another gang and this gang uses the man to get Marcus into trouble. Ching and the Man attempt to reconcile themselves with Marcus, and even though they have proved that Marcus is not strong, he does not want to listen. The action heats up in the cells when the guards leave for the night for that is when the gangs begin to rumble. It seems that certain people are placed in certain cells for the guards&#39; pleasure, but this comes out much more in Prison on Fire II. Prison on Fire is set entirely in the prison and is quite an enjoyable movie.
