Claimed to be the most dangerous city in the world—Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, gunfights between police and criminals happen frequently. Criminals run rampant, with death being as common as everyday life, and even the police are in collusion with criminals, posing a threat to the city. But amidst this chaos, a righteous and strict force emerges. The Special Police Operation Battalion instills fear in criminals with its bold and ruthless approach to law enforcement. In 1997, as the Pope is scheduled to visit, the higher-ups demand that this elite squad, led by Nascimento (played by Wagner Moura), eliminate the drug trade in the slums in the shortest time possible. Exhausted from the violence, Nascimento focuses his thoughts on his wife and unborn child, handing the task over to two passionate and idealistic young men—Neto (played by Caio Junqueira) and Matias (played by André Ramiro). Both dissatisfied with the corruption in the police force, they are determined to make their mark in the elite squad... This film won the Golden Bear at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival.
