Synopsis

Directed by legendary Hong Kong director Johnnie To, ELECTION is a gripping action thriller set in the secret world of Hong Kong's triad society and offers a realistic look at what it means to be a gangster in Hong Kong today. The film centres on Hong Kong's oldest triad, the Wo Shing Society whose senior members are to elect a new chairman, as they must do every two years. Fierce rivalries emerge between the two eligible candidates. Lok, respected by the Uncles, is the favourite to win. But his rival Big D will stop at nothing to win the vote, including going against hundreds of years of Triad tradition and influencing the vote with money and violence. When Wo Shing's ancient symbol of leadership, the Dragon's Head Baton, goes missing, a ruthless struggle for power erupts and the race to retrieve the Baton threatens to tear Wo Shing in two.

ELECTION took 4 awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards. ELECTION won Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Screenplay.
