OPERATION BILLIONAIRES is a 1988 Hong Kong crime action movie chronicles the BASED-ON-REALITY exploits of Cheung Tze-Keung (played by 任達華 Simon Yam Tat-wah).
Cheung Tze-keung (張子強) was a notorious Hong Kong gangster also known as "Big Spender". He was a kidnapper, robber, arms smuggler and was wanted for murder. He was best known for having masterminded the abduction of Walter Kwok Ping-sheung (郭炳湘) and Victor Li Tzar-kuoi (李澤鉅), son of Li Ka-Shing (李嘉誠).
Cheung Tze-keung was arrested by People's Police and executed in Guangzhou on December 5, 1998.
To shield the guilty (in the film), Cheung Tze-Keung’s name was changed to Cheung Chi-Ho.
Cheung Chi-ho makes a living by kidnapping the children of very rich people. However, he's a nice guy outside of 'work', even going as far as to help a little old lady cross the street as the film begins.
Cheung Chi-ho is plotting to kidnap several adult sons of Chinese millionaires. Because of their vicious threats, most of these cases go unreported to the cops, and all goes well, until Cheung teams up with another big-time criminal, Cyclone. On their first job, the rich victim calls the police, and Cheung Chi-ho must strategize his next move against the police.
