The Eight Hundred to release at cinemas 16th Sept

Trinity Cine Asia to release THE EIGHT HUNDRED, the highest-grossing box office film in the world this year, on 16 Sep 2020, in 2D and IMAX cinemas in UK and Ireland

Shanghai 1937. It’s been 3 months since Japan launched the invasion of China and Japanese forces have to take down the Si Hang Warehouse without further delay. As the Japanese army closes in, 400 soldiers stay holed in the warehouse to defend the city at all cost, in an epic battle that will last 4 days and 4 nights. The fighters include a ragtag band of brothers who’d managed to successfully dodge military service; now they’re forced to fight, literally, for their lives. With the battle playing out in full view of both the expat Americans and Europeans living across the Su Zhou River, and the local Chinese civilians, the battle of the so-called Eight Hundred Heroes made world headlines; it was the first to be broadcast live around the world.  


Filmed during an 8 month-long shoot, THE EIGHT HUNDRED is the first Chinese language movie to be made with digital IMAX cameras. Stunning cinematography takes advantage of the production team’s year and a half-long effort to recreate the whole locale of the region, including life-size builds of the warehouse and neighbouring buildings, and a 200 metre-long Su Zhou River.

THE EIGHT HUNDRED stars Zhang Yi (Cock and Bull, Dearest), Wang Qianyuan (Saving Mr. Wu), Jiang Wu (To Live, Shower) and Li Chen (Sky Hunter) in the lead roles.
