Tense and exciting when it finally gets airborne, Chinese disaster movie “The Captain” is an effective tribute to those who saved the day when the cockpit window of a Sichuan Airlines flight shattered over the Tibetan Plateau on May 14, 2018. Capably assembled by Hong Kong director Andrew Lau (the “Infernal Affairs” trilogy), “The Captain” has gone stratospheric at the Chinese box office, grossing $373 million in its first 18 days. Business has been brisk in foreign territories including Australia and the U.K., all of which bodes well for the film’s North American release on Oct. 18.
One of three features released in time for China’s Oct. 1 National Day celebrations and week-long public holiday, “The Captain” is running a close second to flag-waving omnibus “My Country, My People,” and way ahead of the Mt. Everest-themed adventure “The Climbers.” Though nowhere near as politically patriotic as those films, “The Captain” still finds plenty...

After “Operation Mekong” (2016), “Operation Red Sea” (2018), and “The Bravest” (2019), the Chinese cinema industry continues on with the series of epic tales about infallible servicemen. Andrew Lau’s “The Captain” is such a movie and it was inspired by a true story of Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633 incident.
Cine Asia is releasing The Captain in UK & Roi cinemas from 4th October
The story takes place on the 14th of May, 2018. Captain Liu Chuanjian (Zhang Hanyu) prepares for a standard flight from Chongquin to Lhasa together with his two co-pilots, Xu Ruichen (Ou Hao) and Liang Peng (Du Jiang) as well as the flight attendants supervised by Bi Nan (Yuan Quan). Passengers board an Airbus A319 plane and everything seems to be in order. Forty minutes after take-off, on the altitude of 32,000 feet, the windshield blows out, sucking one of the co-pilots halfway out of the cockpit. The plane is now depressurized and with inoperative radio communication.
