Infernal Affairs

Storyline

Mou gaan dou 2002

The situation is no different in the mafia, where police officers who have been trained in the police force for years infiltrate the mafia to learn the inner workings and become informants. The mafia, in turn, turns young people with special talents that it has nurtured into moles for the police. As this cycle continues successfully, both sides suddenly realize that there are two moles in their respective organizations. Now, both sides have the sole goal of finding and punishing the mole within their organization. The mole in the mafia, Chiang Wing-yang, and Lau Kin-ming, who serves the same role in the police force, try to prove who the real mole is and justify themselves. This film, one of the most successful works of Hong Kong cinema in recent years, quickly caught the attention of the American film industry and was remade by Martin Scorsese as “The Departed”.
