Synopsis

Extreme sport lover Zhou Feng got involved in an international illegal trade by accident. So he had to follow an international special agent Bruce to Budapest.

In company with the senior agent Bruce, these four rookies started a fight with the terrorists that was both thrilling and hilarious.
