Based on the novel "Tropa de Elite" by André Batista.
From case cover:
Rio de Janeiro, 1997. Nascimento (Wagner Moura), captião da Tropa de Elite do Rio de Janeiro, é designado para chefiar uma das equipes que tem como missão "apaziguar" o Morro do Turano por um motivo que ele considera insensato. Mas ele tem que cumprir as ordens enquanto procura por um substituto. Sua mulher, Rosane (Maria Ribeiro), está no final da gravidez e todos os dias lhe pedepara sair da linha de frente do batalhão. Pressionado, o capitão sente os efeitos do estresse. Neste clima, é chamado para mais uma emergência num morro. Em meio a um tiroteio em um baile funk, Nascimento e sua equipe têm que resgatar dois aspirantes a oficiais da PM: Neto (Caio Junqueira) e Matias (André Ramiro). Ansiosos por entrar em ação e impressionados com a eficiência de seus salvadores, os dois se candidatam ao curso de formação da Tropa de Elite. From IMDb:
In 1997, before the visit of the pope to Rio de Janeiro, Captain Nascimento from BOPE (Special Police Operation Battalion) is assigned to eliminate the risks of the drug dealers in a dangerous slum nearby where the pope intends to be lodged. Captain Nascimento is trying to find a man to replace him because his wife is pregnant and he intends to quit the command and become a trainer of the new recruits. Meanwhile, the two idealistic friends Neto and Matias join the Military Police force expecting to become honest policemen and fight the criminals. However, they see only corruption, lack of competence and stupid bureaucracy in the Military Police, and after a serious incident in the Morro da Babilônia, they decide to join the BOPE. The lives of Capitain Nascimento, Neto and Matias are entwined along the next months, first in the tough training period and then in action against drug dealers. Nascimento believes that Neto could be his substitute, but his impulsive attitudes jeopardizes his choice. Later, the intelligent Matias seems to be the correct choice, but he needs to prove that he has heart.
