本片曾獲柏林影展金熊獎，以1997年巴西里約熱內盧為故事背景。巴西本土票房累積收益，突破千萬美金大關 。貪污腐敗的巴西，警察個個以權謀私，無法無天的毒販霸據整個貧民窟，導致黑白兩道利益輸送關係錯綜複雜。直到教宗即將造訪，精銳部隊隊長納西門圖奉命橫掃貧民窟毒梟。速戰速決以換取短暫的和平，取勝的捷徑，就是以暴制暴。 一場爆發在即的浴血戰，令將為人父而不願涉入火線的納西門圖陷於極度焦慮，於是乎，他必須先迅速訓練出最有能力擔下重任的接班人。在BOPE地獄特訓營，最有潛質的接班人選就包括崇尚暴力以終結犯罪的的尼度，以及不斷掙扎於正義信念與現實之間的馬提亞斯，這兩個同樣傑出的菜鳥，順理成章成了納西門圖心目中理想的人選。但烽火連天的里約熱內盧，保住自己的性命要緊？還是睹上一命奮力投身虛有其表的掃毒任務呢？ 本片露骨地呈現出警里約熱內盧嚴重的警察操守與種族歧視問題，諸多寫實的貧民窟景象，讓人觸目心驚，導演荷西柏迪夏(Jose Padilha)曾以《裡約公車174路》獲得慕尼黑影展獎項。他語重心長地說：「在裡約，沒有善惡二分法，我只看得到灰色。」擬真的手法加上凌厲敏快的剪接，震撼性十足，亦發人省思。 菁英部隊，Elite Squad，精英部隊1，Tropa de Elite
