Ambassador Han (Tzi Ma) was stationed in the United States and oversaw the smuggling activities of the Zhongtao criminal group. He was resentful by his enemies for this. In the United States, Zhong Tao instructed his men to kidnap Ambassador Han's daughter, Su Yang (Julia Hsu), and extort a ransom of US$50 million. Hearing the news, the FBI launched a comprehensive investigation. Ambassador Han was worried about the efficiency of the United States and insisted on dispatching Inspector Li (Jackie Chan) from Hong Kong to assist. In order to prevent Lee from solving the case first, the FBI sent Los Angeles Police Department's troubled detective Carter (Chris Tucker), as Lee's partner. Carter's style is high-profile, while Li is extraordinary, low-key and cautious. This temporary pair of east-west partners has caused many misunderstandings and jokes. But as crises occurred one after another, the two gradually developed a tacit understanding. Will their rescue operation ultimately succeed? The film won the Elizabeth Peña Award for Best Actress at the 1999 Latin Media Arts Awards and Best Screen Show at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards.
