In the 1920’s, Japanese military forces in Manchuria, China hunted down a handful of Korean liberation fighters willing to risk their lives to bring an end to the Japanese rule of Korea. Tasked with the mission to deliver funds to the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai, Hwang Hae Cheol (Yoo Hae Jin) and a small band of subordinates set out at once. But the road ahead is anything but easy.

Relying heavily on his skill as a master swordsman and the sharp eye of Ma Byung Gu (Jo Woo Jin), a sniper under his command, Hae Cheol and his troop make their way towards Shanghai. Along the way, Hae Cheol is reunited with Lee Jang Ha (Ryu Jun Yeol), a young squad commander who is currently on a deadly mission of his own: to bait a battalion of Japanese forces into a valley near Fengwudong.

Teaming up, this rag-tag group of militiamen take on the Japanese forces in a fierce four-day battle that would go down in history as one of the most glorious moments in Korea’s fight for independence from Japan.

Inspired by actual events, “The Battle: Roar to Victory” is a 2019 period action film directed by Won Sin Yeon.

In December of 1941, Japanese forces made their way into China, claiming the country’s extensive railway system as their own. Using the lines from Tianjin to Nanjing as a key military transportation route, the trains which ran between the cities were heavily guarded by Japanese soldiers. But even heavily guarded, the trains were frequently attacked by teams of freedom fighters, particularly those led by Ma Yuan (Jackie Chan).

A simple railroad worker swept up by the tides of war, Ma Yuan’s extensive knowledge of the train network instantly made him a valuable asset to the cause. Gathering a group of fellow railway workers to him, Ma Yuan and his men became a symbol of hope to the people, raiding Japanese trains to supply the starving people of China with much-needed food and supplies. Using nothing but their everyday tools to take on the Japanese soldiers, these freedom fighters became affectionately known as the “Railroad Tigers.” Though heroes to the people, the Japanese saw them in a much different light. Determined to stop them from doing more harm, reinforcements were sent to Shandong. But the reinforcements only served to spur the rebels into greater action.&nbsp;

In a grand act of defiance, Ma Yuan leads his men on a mission more dangerous than any they’ve attempted thus far. But when the Japanese learn of their plan, they launch a counterattack that raises the stakes for all to staggering new heights. Will this ragtag team of freedom fighters be able to bring down this well-oiled machine of war or will their greatest heist yet prove to be their undoing?

Starring one of the most popular action stars of all time, “Railroad Tigers” is a 2016 Chinese action comedy film directed by Ding Sheng.
