Plot:
The cocaine cowboys of the ’80s are gone, but Miami’s Casablanca allure, the undercover cops and the attitudes of Michael Mann’s culturally influential television series have been enhanced by time in the feature film version of Miami Vice.
Ricardo Tubbs (Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx of Ray, Jarhead) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy, played by British actress Naomie Harris (28 Days Later, upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean II and III), as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders.
Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell of S.W.A.T., The New World) [to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox, but procedurally he is sound] is charismatic and flirtatious until-while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group-he gets romantically entangled with Isabella, the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker. Isabella is played by the Chinese actress Gong Li (Raise the Red Lantern, Memoirs of a Geisha).
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.
Miami Vice, as a large-scale feature film, liberates what is adult, dangerous and alluring about working deeply undercover…especially when Crockett and Tubbs go to where their badges don’t count…
Miami Vice stars Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Gong Li, Naomie Harris and Ciarán Hinds and is written and directed by Michael Mann, who also produces along with Pieter Jan Brugge; Anthony Yerkovich serves as executive producer.

A fast-paced, teasing title sequence and programme menu leads into a brief look back at the impact of the original TV series. We then hit the fast lane with five chapters that explore the new movie and its style elements. The chapters are designed so they could be used as stand alone 4-minute items or together to make the full programme.
1. Introduction to Miami Vice: Writer/Director Michael Mann, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx explain the appeal of this big screen incarnation featuring clips and behind the scenes material. Production Designer Victor Kempster also provides an overview of the style palette he created. Victor will also contribute to other chapters where appropriate.
2. Toys for the Boys: The cars, the choppers, the boats, the weapons. Michael Mann discusses their importance while Colin and Jamie pick their toys of choice.
3. Miami Fashion: Oscar winning Costume Designer Janty Yates talks about her inspiration and creations for the film. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx reveal their favourite outfits whilst Simon Mills (Contributing Editor British GQ) talks about the impact of the film’s fashions on the high street.
4. Miami Ladies: Michael Mann, Colin and Jamie describe the sex appeal of the Miami molls. We also talk to Gong Li and Naomie Harris about their roles in the film.
5. Miami Beats: Michael Mann chats about the inspiration behind the music created for the film. Jamie Foxx discusses the track he recorded especially for it and there’s footage from the set of his accompanying music promo.
