To retrieve the diamonds, Ling kidnaps Tony’s daughter, compelling him to team up with a Taiwanese intelligence officer named Su (Jet Li). Together, Tony and Su navigate the underworld of Los Angeles, facing off against formidable adversaries and executing daring heists to rescue Tony’s daughter and thwart Ling’s nefarious plans.
