Once a Thief 4K Ultra HD unites legendary director John Woo with Hong Kong superstars Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung in a stylish blend of action, comedy and crime caper thrills. Showcasing Woo's flair for inventive action alongside his love of classic European heist films, this fan-favourite adventure remains one of the director's most entertaining and underrated works.
Raised together as orphaned thieves on the streets of Hong Kong, a charismatic trio of international art thieves set out for one final score after a successful heist on the French Riviera. Their target is a priceless painting said to be cursed, hidden within a heavily guarded fortress. But when they are betrayed by their former mentor, the friends must rely on their skills, ingenuity and loyalty to survive and settle the score.
Filled with spectacular action sequences, clever humour, memorable characters and impressive stunt work, Once a Thief balances excitement and heart while demonstrating why John Woo became one of Hong Kong cinema's most celebrated filmmakers.
