About This Movie

Year of the Dragon is a 1985 action and crime film directed by Michael Cimino. Its leading cast includes Mickey Rourke, John Lone and Ariane. It runs for 2 hours 14 minutes.

Synopsis

In New York, racist Capt. Stanley White becomes obsessed with destroying a Chinese-American drug ring run by Joey Tai, an up-and-coming young gangster as ambitious as he is ruthless. While pursuing an unauthorized investigation, White grows increasingly willing to violate police protocol, resorting to progressively violent measures -- even as his concerned wife, Connie, and his superiors beg him to consider the consequences of his actions.
