The White Storm is a 2013 Hong Kong crime action film directed by director/producer Benny Chan. In the film, the three close childhood friends, played by Sean Lau, Louis Koo and Nick Cheung respectively, are three members of the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau. The three encounter live-or-die choices as they go against the Thailand drug lord Big Boss (aka Eight-faced Buddha). The film was followed by two sequels, The White Storm 2: Drug Lords, released in 2019, and The White Storm 3: Heaven or Hell, released in 2023.
The following weapons were used in the film The White Storm:
