Cheng Er’s HIDDEN BLADE Unsheathes On Digital This Month From Well Go USA!
Hard-hitting World War II espionage thriller, Hidden Blade, is releasing on Digital beginning July 18 from Well Go USA. The film comes from award-winning filmmaker Cheng Er (Lethal Hostage, The Wasted Times), and stars Tony Leung (Infernal Affairs franchise, Hero, The Grandmaster), Wang Yibo (Born to Fly), Dong Chengpeng (City of Rock, I am Not Madame Bovary, The Thousand Faces of Dunjia), Zhou Xun (2022’s Hero, Painted Skin, Perhaps Love), Eric Wang (Saturday Fiction, Dying to Survive), and Lei Huang (Farewell My Concubine, Phantom of the Theatre).
During World War II, at the height of China’s war of resistance against Japan, a group of courageous citizens develops a top-secret underground espionage network right under the nose of the newly established puppet regime. At increasingly great peril to their own lives, the double-agents masterfully extract classified information from deep behind enemy lines, an effort that gives rise to the united front that will help turn the tide of the conflict.
Hidden Blade was nominated for five awards at the Shanghai International Film Festival, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress (Zhou Xun). The film won the award for Best Actor (Wang Yibo).
