Trailer [2]: ‘Operation Red Sea’

By   |  Jan 30, 2018

‘Operation Red Sea’ ( 红海行动) is an upcoming Chinese-Hong Kong action movie directed by Dante Lam.

The film’s story is loosely based on the evacuation of the 225 foreign nationals and almost 600 Chinese citizens from Yemen’s southern port of Aden during the 2015 Yemeni Civil War. The cast includes Zhang Yi, Huang Jingyu, Hai Qing, Jiang Luxia, and Zhang Hanyu.

Synopsis: The Jiaolong Assault Team, one of the special forces of the world’s largest military force, People’s Liberation Army, is given a potentially fatal assignment, leading a small eight-man unit to evacuate Chinese residents from a North African republic in the throes of a coup d’état. The squad strategically makes a two-pronged rescue attempt but is tragically ambushed, resulting in heavy casualties. At the same time, the terrorist leader manages to steal the incriminating evidence against him along with essential material for the manufacture of nuclear arms. The Jiaolong Assault Team is fully aware of the importance of ensuring such material is forever removed from the terrorists’ hands.

‘Operation Red Sea’ is due for release across China on February 16, 2018.
