PLOT

In 1937, eight hundred Chinese soldiers resisted besieged in a warehouse in the middle of the battlefield in Shanghai, surrounded by the Japanese army.

Guan Hu, the acclaimed director of Mr. Six, is responsible for this monumental epic blockbuster based on one of the most dramatic passages of the Japanese invasion of China. The so-called "China’s Alamo" is the ideal setting for a nightmare of fire and ash, shot with artisan’s hands and offering us impressive battle scenes, of impressive technical and poetic perfection.

One of the most expensive films in the history of Chinese cinema.
