Storyline:
He was looking for escape... He found a war, and a home.
In Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Chan Lok-kwun, a lost and rebellious teen, finds himself on the run and accidentally crosses into the notorious Kowloon Walled City—a lawless maze of danger, ruled by gangs, legends, and unwritten codes.
But what he expects to be a hellhole turns out to be something else entirely: a rough but loyal community of warriors and misfits bound by their own form of justice. Under the mentorship of seasoned fighters, Lok-kwun is thrust into the heart of a brewing gang war—and a personal journey that will test his courage, loyalty, and identity.
Walled In is a visually explosive martial arts saga laced with coming-of-age drama, where brutal fists meet human spirit in the densest battleground of all—the streets of Kowloon.
