Romeo Must Die Movie
This modern version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet tells about two rival crime families. These are African-American and Chinese gangs struggling for power over Oakland. When Chinese crime lord's son Po Sing (Jon Kit Lee) is murdered, bad news reaches his older brother Han Sing (Jet Li), an ex-cop who without a second thought breaks out of a Hong Kong prison to track down Po's killers and avenge his death. In the United States while investigating the murder, Han meets Trish O'Day (Aaliyah), the rival ganglord's daughter who wants nothing to do with her father (Delroy Lindo) or his shady business. Han and Trish fall in love with each other and team up to continue the search for justice.
