Co-directed by Chinese filmmaking titans Tsui Hark, Dante Lam and Chen Kaige,
The Battle at Lake Changjin is the most expensive movie ever
produced in China. It was such a hit at the Chinese box office that only
Spider-Man: No Way Home
made more money at the global box office in 2021.
The film depicts the titular battle, fought between Chinese and US forces
during the Korean War, and stars Wu Jing and Jackson Yee.
The Battle at Lake Changjin is on UK blu-ray, DVD and VOD
from May 16th.

The official synopsis reads:
During the winter of 1950, in the freezing cold Lake Changjin region, a bloody battle ensues between the United States and China. Faced with the harshest conditions of extreme cold, a lack of rations and vast differences in weaponry, the Chinese troops forge ahead in what was to become the most critical battle of the Korean war.
