Like any Wong Fei-hung movies, the story of Ma Wing-jing, a pugilist from Shantung who rises to the top of the Shanghai triad ladder, is worth telling over and over. Corey Yuen’s remake of Chang Cheh’s Boxer From Shantung sees Taiwanese Japanese heart-throb Takeshi Kaneshiro in the role made famous by Chang’s favourite Chen Kuan-tai. Although better known for his dramas than action, Kaneshiro rises powerfully to the occasion, backed by the stellar martial arts talents of Yuen Biao, Yuen Hua and Yuan Te. Corey Yuen – who has worked with Jet Li on all his Hollywood movies and directed such hits as Fong Sai-yuk – brings the hero to life with his trademark of explosive action and comic relief. Less bloody than Boxer From Shantung and definitely just as riveting.

Deutsch Bernie Laplante hat es nicht leicht. Er lebt in Scheidung, seine Ex-Frau hasst ihn und hat das Sorgerecht für ihren Sohn, die Polizei ist ihm auf den Fersen und zu allem Unglück verliert er auch noch einen Schuh, als er einige Passagiere eines abgestürzten Flugzeugs retten will. Die Medien spielen die Rettungsaktion mächtig auf, doch dummerweise gibt sich jemand anderes als der große Held aus, und Bernie scheint wieder mal leer auszugehen.
Italiano Bernie, un piccolo truffatore, si trasforma in eroe salvando i passeggeri di un aereo precipitato, poi scompare nella notte. Quando una emittente offre un premio in denaro al misterioso salvatore, un barbone si spaccia per l'eroe e diventa un divo.

Français Bernie LaPlante, éternel looser, considéré comme un tocard par son entourage, sauve, une nuit où il erre aux abords de Chicago, les passagers d'un avion, qui vient de s'écraser sous ses yeux. Quand Gale Gayley, jeune reporter TV, qui se trouve parmi les victimes, veut le remercier, Bernie a disparu, laissant derrière lui un indice, une chaussure embourbée.

Pусский Даже такой отрицательный герой, как мелкий воришка Берни Лапланте, может стать положительным, если окажется в нужном месте в нужный час. Например, на месте падения авиалайнера, пассажиров которого ему предстоит спасти.За этот героический поступок Берни присуждается премия в миллион долларов. Но между ним и заветным чеком вклинивается самозванец, готовый ради такой суммы выдать себя за кого угодно, хоть за самого Берни Лапланте.
Español Bernie Laplante es un ladronzuelo perseguido por la policía que pasa por una mala racha. Un día, ve cómo un avión se estrella, decide ayudar y, de paso, llevarse el bolso de una pasajera, que resulta ser una periodista empeñada en descubrir al héroe que rescató a parte del pasaje.
Dansk Bernard fusker sig igennem livet som småkriminel med politiet i hælene. Så han ikke hængene, da han har reddet en gruppe mennesker ud af et fly. Bernard taber sin ene sko under aktionen og giver den anden til en hjemløs. Senere ulover en tv-station 1 million til redningsmanden og den hjemløse melder sig med skoen som bevis. Men Bernard vil have sine penge.
עִבְרִית כאשר בארני, פושע קטן מחלץ נוסעים לאחר תאונת מטוס, אין הוא יודע שפעולת ההצלה שלו תשנה את חייו ואת חייהם של רבים אחרים. כתבת טלוויזיה נודעת שהיתה בין הניצולים מחפשת אחר המושיע האנונימי ומוצאת את גון בובר שמתחזה לגיבור המזדמן והופך להיות כוכב תקשורת. הבמאי הבריטי סטיבן פרירס יצר סרט ברוח סרטיו של פרנק קפרה שנוגע בבעיות כמו מהות הגבורה והשפעת אמצעי התקשורת האלקטרוניים על דעת הקהל.
Magyar Hősök márpedig léteznek - állítja Gale Gayley, a rámenős riporternő, aki 53 utastársával együtt repülőszerencsétlenség áldozata lesz. Bernie LaPlante, a piti kis csaló éppen arra jár, s meghazudtolva önmagát, élete kockáztatásával megmenti a gép utasait, majd egyszerűen tovább áll, nem hagyva hátra mást, mint egy fél pár ócska cipőt. A riporternő rögtön felismeri a történetben a nagy lehetőséget és elindít egy sorozatot a chicagói tévében, mely személyes hangvételű beszámolókban dolgozza fel a katasztrófa történetét. A titokzatos idegen egyik percről a másikra az érdeklődés középpontjában találhatná magát és egymillió dollárral lehetne gazdagabb. Ám egykori útitársa a helyébe lép és a hős megmentőnek adja ki magát.
Nederlands Voor de ogen van Bernie LaPlante boort een vliegtuig zich in de brug over een snelweg. Het liefst had hij zich zo snel mogelijk uit de voeten gemaakt. Maar tegen zijn wil wordt hij meegesleurd in de strijd op leven en dood redt hij maar liefst 54 mensen! In de chaos van de ramp jat hij terloops ook nog wat credit cards en portemonnees en vlucht daarna. 'Wie is deze held ?'vraagt heel de natie zich af. Er wordt de mensenredder zelfs een miljoen dollar beloofd als hij zich meldt. Dit is Bernie's kans, want verder ziet het er voor hem niet zo best uit in het leven.

Český Bernie LaPlante je stále jednou rukou v cizí kapse a jednou nohou ve vězení. Manželka a syn jej opustili a ani v práci není bez problému. Když je jedné bouřlivé noci okolnostmi víceméně přinucen zachránit cestující z havarovaného letadla, raději se z místa neštěstí vytratí. Životní zkušenost mu velí zbytečně na sebe neupozorňovat. Televizní reportérka Gale Gayleyová chce získat prvotřídní reportáž zjištěním totožnosti neznámého zachránce. Je vypsána odměna jeden milion dolarů. Bernie však svoji šanci zmešká. Ocitne se ve vězení a jeho roli převezme bezdomovec John Bubber, jemuž Bernie celou záchrannou akci vylíčil. Zdrcený LaPlante ve vězení sleduje Bubberovu hvězdnou kariéru. Nejvíc mu vadí, že John získal odměnu. Po propuštění se zkouší o peníze přihlásit, ale nikdo jeho historce nevěří.
Português Bernie Laplante faz o primeiro gesto altruísta de sua vida quando ele ajuda salvar passageiros feridos de um acidente de avião na estrada, e depois desaparece na noite. Na esperança de encontrar o herói que a tirou do naufrágio, a repórter Gale Gayley anuncia um prêmio de 1 milhão de dólares para o herói se apresentar. Mas, quando o bonito vagabundo John Bubber recebe o crédito, Bernie luta para expô-lo em meio a um circo de mídia e incontáveis fãs.
български език Една интересна смесица между драма и комедия с участието на Дъстин Хофман, Анди Гарсия и Джина Дейвис.

ελληνικά Η ζωή του Μπέρνι ΛαΠλαντ πάει από το κακό στο χειρότερο. Χωρίς να το πολυκαταλάβει διασώσει τους επιβάτες ενός αεροπορικού ατυχήματος και ξεχνάει πίσω το παπούτσι του. Όλοι αναζητούν τον ήρωα με το ένα παπούτσι κι αντί αυτού εμφανίζεται ένας άστεγος.

한국어/조선말 야심만만한 여기자 게일(Gale Gayley: 지나 데이비스 분)은 방송 기자상을 수상하기 위해 뉴욕의 시상식에 참석하러 갔다가 돌아오는 길에 비행기 추락 사고를 당한다. 이곳을 지나가던 버니(Bernie Laplante: 더스틴 호프만 분), 그는 이혼한 후 작은 공장에 다니며 소매치기, 장물거래 등을 부업삼아 살아가는데 그의 신조는 '남의 눈에 띄지않게 조용히 사는 것'. 그가 비행기 승객을 구해 준 것도 자의가 아니고 그저 우연한 '실수'일 뿐이었다. 그 다음날 버니는 길에서 우연히 고물차를 태워준 존(John Bubber: 엔디 가르시아 분)에게 자신의 무용담을 들려준 뒤 구두 한 짝을 그에게 주고 간다. 한편 게일은 폭발하는 비행기에서 자신을 구해준 신비의 영웅을 찾기 위해 백만달러의 포상금을 내건다. 밤이었고, 사고로 혼란했기 때문에 얼굴을 못본 것이다. 주인공이 남긴 유일한 증거는 구두 한짝. 수많은 사람들이 구두를 들고 방송국으로 몰려들었고, 결국 진짜 구두를 갖고 있는 버니는 졸지에 영웅이 된다. 그는 마치 성직자 같은 솜씨로 사람들을 매료시켰고, 게일의 사랑까지 받는다. 하지만 버니가 나타날까봐 점차 초조해 지기 시작한다. 그런 와중에 버니는 게일을 구해줄 때 훔쳤던 그녀의 신용카드를 팔다가 경찰에 체포되고 직장에서 해고 당한다. 그리고 감옥까지 가게 되는데, 그는 마지막으로 아들 조이(Joey: 제임스 마디오 분)에게 전화를 하게 되지만 그저 건달로만 생각하는 전처 때문에 할 말도 다 못한다.
