During the war, Chen Zhen was a hero. In the tempestuous years that followed, he became a legend. The exciting story of Chen Zhen is given a modern refresh as DONNIE YEN takes up the heroic mantle made famous by international superstars BRUCE LEE (FIST OF FURY, 1972) and JET LI (FIST OF LEGEND, 1994). The Shanghai of the 1920s is an exciting but ruthless place to be, as the Japanese enforce their expansionist ideals on the beleaguered country by any means necessary, while the rest of the superpowers watch on. One man decides to make a stand against injustice by becoming a masked avenger and using all of his exceptional martial arts skills to dismantle the evil that is besetting his beloved country.
As the globe stands on the brink of World War II, Shanghai has fallen and deadly Japanese bombers target the infamous city of Nanking. As panic breaks out and savage bombing raids devastate the city, veteran entrepreneur John Rabe, a German living the high life in the social whirl of Nanking, must make a agonizing choice: to flee or give sanctuary to the terrified population within the gates of his factory When the Imperial Japanese Army discovers rich Nazi Rabes selfless operation, they see it an act of high treason. As a wave of brutality is unleashed on Nanking, Rabe and his comrades find themselves in a race against time to fight for a safety zone to protect the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of this ultimate act of war. But as the bombings desist, a perilous siege begins. Starring Ulrich Tukur (The Lives Of Others) Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) and Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), City Of War is a breathtaking true story of danger, courage, fear and bravery in the proud tradition of Defiance and Schindlers List.
