Donnie Yen turns into an inspirational teacher in the Hong Kong drama Big Brother! Directed by Kam Ka Wai ( Colour of the Game) & co-produced by Donnie himself, the film sees the action star in the unlikely role of a high school teacher for troubled teens. Shining a light on marginalized youth, Big Brother sincerely touches on many social problems that affect young people including family abuse, poverty & discrimination. At the same time, the film leaves plenty of room for Donnie to break out some action & take down bad guys.
After going through many ups & downs in his life, including a stint in the U.S. army, Henry Chen (Donnie Yen) returns to his struggling alma mater for a brand new challenge: high school teacher. Calling upon his own experiences, Henry hopes to guide his troubled & disadvantaged students towards a brighter future.

Just when it seems like the classroom will finally be at peace, new threats arise that endanger the school & his pupils.
