The Furious follows Wang Wei, an ordinary man whose daughter is kidnapped by a criminal network that the corrupt police refuse to touch. His only ally is Navin, a journalist whose wife has similarly vanished without explanation. Bound by parallel losses, the two fight through the criminal empire together. The film is built around that specific engine: grief turned into action, distrust of institutions, and martial arts as the language of a reckoning.
The Furious is a 2025 English-language Hong Kong action film, directed by Kenji Tanigaki. It stars Xie Miao as an ordinary man who, with journalist Navin's help, fights a criminal empire to rescue his kidnapped daughter. The cast also features Brian Le, Joey Iwanaga, Yayan Ruhian, and Jeeja Yanin.

Furious Attack follows a nearly identical premise — a father fighting through criminal networks to rescue his kidnapped daughter — while Kung Fu (TV) delivers the same blend of hand-to-hand combat and crime-fighting corruption if you want more episodes to sink into.
Karate Survivor channels the same martial-arts-movie energy in roguelite form, and Final Fight 2 is a classic beat-'em-up where you brawl through crime gangs — both scratch that relentless, fists-first itch the film delivers.
Animal 4.5 mirrors the film almost beat-for-beat: a father's children are abducted by a ruthless cartel and he launches a desperate rescue mission, making it the closest page-turning equivalent to the movie's core revenge drive.
