Escape from the Outland (Mandarin, Eng Sub)

From Shen Ao, one of the most successful young Chinese directors. His two previous features were major box office hits in China: No More Bets ($550M) and Dead to Rights ($420M). With the same human-centered intensity, Escapefrom the Outland delivers a gripping survival story with strong international appeal.

Inspired by the true story of hostages who fought for survival, the film follows a Chinese journalist, his doctor wife, and an engineer who are kidnapped by a terrorist group amid sudden chaos in a war-torn region. Trapped with a fellow businessman, they endure 105 days of terror and defiance, risking everything in a desperate bid to escape their captors.
