In this drama (inspired by the nerve gas bombing of a Tokyo subway station), a Japanese terrorist group has planted bombs loaded with deadly Sarin gas all around the city of Hong Kong, and they threaten to set them off if their leader, being held by Hong Kong authorities, is not released. Kent Wong, a hot-tempered Hong Kong police detective, and Takami, a methodical Japanese intelligence agent, are forced to work together if they're to defuse the bombs in time to save the city. For Kent, the crisis also has a personal side -- one of the bombs has been planted in a TV station where his girlfriend works, and if he cannot dismantle it in time, she'll be among the first to die. Extreme Crisis stars Julian Cheung, Theresa Lee, and Shu Kei.
