Drug War (Du zhan 毒戰) is a Chinese-Hong Kong crime thriller film directed and produced by Johnnie To (2013). The film stars Sun Honglei as Police Captain Zhang, who partners with a drug lord named Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) after Choi is arrested for the production and distribution of methamphetamines. To avoid the death penalty, Choi agrees to reveal information about his partners' drug ring. Zhang starts to harbor doubts about Choi's honesty as the police’s drug sting spins out of control and it becomes unclear who has the upper hand.
