In this visually arresting action drama from acclaimed director Johnnie To (Running On Karma, Breaking News), legendary Judo fighter Sze-To (Louis Koo from The Suspect) unexpectedly gave up the sport and now lives the life of an alcoholic gambler who runs a pub. However, cocky Judo champion newcomer Tony (Aaron Kwok from The Storm Riders) wants to challenge him to a duel, while old foe Kong (Tong Leung Ka Fai from Ashes of Time) demands Sze-To to finish the match that never took place. Soon Sze-To's pub became the ultimate arena where the greatest Judo fighters show off their skills. As a result, he vows to take on his opponents before his reason for his early retirement is exposed. Filled with brutal, no-holds-barred Judo fight scenes performed by the actors themselves, Throw-Down is an emotional tale of one man's determination to win at all costs.
