Co-directed by Chen Kaige, Dante Lam and Tsui Hark, the 2021 war epic The Battle at Lake Changjin became China's biggest film of all time with a box office gross of over 5.7 billion yuan (US$900 million). Set in the 1950s during the Korean War, the Chinese blockbuster depicts the Battle of Lake Changjin, also known as the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, between China's People's Volunteer Army and the U.S. army. Billed as China's most expensive film production ever, the big-budget war film viscerally recreates the grueling magnitude of large-scale ground and air warfare in freezing cold environs. Action star Wu Jing ( Wolf Warrior ) and top young actor Jackson Yee ( Better Days ) lead the cast as brothers and soldiers of the 7th Company who are deployed to fight a devastating and decisive battle in North Korea in the winter of 1950. The ensemble cast also includes Zhang Hanyu, Hu Jun, Duan Yihong, Zhu Yawen, Li Chen, Elvis Han, Oho Ou, Huang Xuan and Tang Guoqiang. The sequel The Battle at Lake Changjin II arrived soon after in 2022, and also passed the 4 billion yuan benchmark to enter China's all-time top ten box office. Completing the story, The Battle at Lake Changjin II continues to depict the grueling Battle of Lake Changjin with the same main cast and characters. The film centers on the PVA's campaign against the 1st Marine Division of the U.S. X Corps, culminating in the decisive events at Watergate Bridge and Funchilin Pass.
