Filmen handler om kampen mellem narkokartellerne og politiets elitestyrke i Favelas – de berygtede slumområder i verdens farligste by, Rio de Janeiro, og beskriver 'Tropa de Elita', et ubestikkeligt elitekorps af politifolk, der ikke alene skal holde styr på de uendeligt mange narkopushere i Rio de Janeiros slum, men også skal holde øje med korrupte politifolk, og dem er der, ifølge filmen, betydeligt flere af, end der er renfærdige kolleger.
