A Better Tomorrow (Chinese: 英雄本色; Jyutping: Jing1 Hung4 Bun2 Sik1; lit. 'true colours of a hero') is a 1986 Hong Kong action film directed and produced by John Woo, with a screenplay by Woo, Chan Hing-ka, and Leung Suk-wah. The film stars Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, Emily Chu, and Waise Lee. Ti plays Ho, a triad gangster and money counterfeiter who is sent to prison after being betrayed by his subordinate, Shing (Lee). After his release, Ho tries to reform himself and reconcile with his estranged brother Kit (Cheung), a police officer who resents him for his criminal past. Ho becomes torn between trying and failing to make amends with Kit, and following the advice of his friend Mark (Chow) to seek revenge for Shing's treachery. The plot was heavily influenced by The Story of a Discharged Prisoner (1967), a film admired by both Woo and producer Tsui Hark.
