After a Chinese restaurant in Rome is threatened by the mafia, who will stop at nothing to acquire the property, the owner recruits a family friend in Hong Kong, kung fu expert Tang Lung, to help them defend their business.
Tang Lung arrives in Rome as a quiet outsider only to face a relentless wave of organized crime. The legendary showdown in the Colosseum provides some of the most visceral, kinetic martial arts combat ever captured on film.
