Inspired by the real life rescue of over 300 British soldiers in 1942, Dongji Rescue is a rousing, action-packed story of heroism on the high seas. When the Japanese warship Lisbon Maru is torpedoed off the coast of Dongji Island, the lives of over 300 British POWs on board are at risk of being claimed by the sea. Their only hope is a small group of defiant Chinese fisherman who will do anything to rescue and protect them from their captors.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

War cinema that doesn't strip the romance from war — it removes it entirely. The director shows the cost, not the victory. Heavy, honest, necessary.

Heavy cinema and it should be heavy. A light touch on this material is a lie. The filmmakers understand that.

Good for watching with someone ready for a serious conversation afterward.

Director: Fei Zhenxiang

Best Watched: In silence, unhurried, ready for reflection afterward. Not for entertainment.
