About What a Wonderful World
Wah, a hotshot reporter, contracts a terminal disease. With his days numbered, he decides to spend his remaining time chasing a big story. He journeys to Malaysia and tracks down Shun, a rogue trader who brought down the stock market with his illicit activities. Wah becomes Shun's hostage and uses their journey to gain insight into Shun's offbeat criminal methods. But in learning Shun's story, he also begins to learn something about the value of his own life.
Directed by Samson Chiu Leung-Chun, What a Wonderful World leans on a strong ensemble — Andy Lau, Kenny Bee, Theresa Lee Yee-Hung — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1996.
