The Chinese SAVING PRIVATE RYAN! The year 1948 witnessed the launching of the Huaihai Campaign during the Chinese Civil War. In one of Chinese history's deadliest battles, thousands from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Nationalist Army (KMT) fell in the battle that took place between Xuzhou and Bengdu. It was amid this bloody fight that Captain Guzidi led the Ninth Company infantry unit on a sniper mission. The company is ordered to fight until they hear the assembly call signalling retreat. Years later, a survivor of this deadly battle starts searching for the remains of his fallen comrades and attempt to recognize them as national heroes. The film is inspired by short story "The Law Suit" (literal title), which was written by Yang Jinyuan, based on a true story. From director Feng Xiaogang (THE BANQUET, A WORLD WITHOUT THIEVES).

A great film about one man's journey to restore the honor of his fallen war comrades. Amazing action sequences but not at the expense of the human drama elements.
