Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx born intel analys Trudy (Naomie Harris), as he works undercover transporting drug leads into South Florida to identify a group of responsible for three murders. Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) is charismatic and flirtatious until-while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group - he gets romantically entangled with Isabella (Gong Li), the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker.The best undercover identity is oneself with the volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one - especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves.
