It's Mind Over Basketball In The New Sci-Fi Sports Thriller, AMAZING

Director Hu Xuehua‘s latest co-production between Shanghai Film Group and the NBA combines high octane sports action with milestone special effects for the upcoming sci-fi basketball thriller, Amazing. The long-awaited film began production in 2010 and eventually made its way to the Shanghai International Film Festival back in June, and is finally plugging you into the 3D theatrical experience for a domestic release on the week of September 28, 2013.

Bingshan (acted by Huang Xiaoming) is a master hand in developing gaming software. He also loves playing basketball. His fellow colleagues, Hu Jiao and Xiao Hei, are Bingshan’s coworkers, working on research team and also big-time basketball fans. The new CEO comes in, announcing that the company will develop a high-end basketball game called “Amazing.” There is only one problem. The new boss wants to gut the old developing team, replacing everyone with his own people, except for Bingshan. 

He now faces the dilemma of being loyal to his friends and soon-to-be-fired colleagues and the allure of a much bigger paycheck and working on a game revolving around the sport he loves. The group mulls over the idea of starting their own company, but start-up funds are nowhere to be had to sustain the kind of business they want to create. In the wake of this revelation, Bingshan chooses to stay with the company and work on “Amazing.” 

As “Amazing” is on track for public release, Bingshan discovers a flaw in the game’s design that would damage the nerves of anyone who plays the game. Bingshan is now against releasing the game, and his act of conscience creates friction between him and his new boss. At the same time, he finds out that his girlfriend has been having an affair with the CEO. 

Bingshan tries to disclose the underhanded practices of his new boss as “Amazing” is being pushed by the CEO, despite the fact that it causes nerve damage. To settle the matter and reveal what kind of man the CEO really is, Bingshan challenges him to a duel of intelligence and technological aptitude. Who will win? Will our hero triumph in a move for justice and fairness, or will the bad guy get his game released, the profits that come with it and the stolen girlfriend? Find out when “Amazing” hits theaters on September 30.
