Dongji Rescue
The Lisbon Maru, a Japanese merchant ship covertly carrying 1,816 British POWs, is torpedoed by mistake off the coast of China's Dongji Island by a submarine. Guided by the code of the islanders - "those in peril at sea must be saved", two young fishermen brothers risk everything to hide a British army medic (William Franklyn-Miller) after being spotted drifting in the sea. A brutal manhunt by the Japanese forces to find the missing soldier ensues. As the ship begins to sink, and the truth about the POWs stranded at sea starts to surface, the villagers set out on a perilous mission to rescue the British soldiers and reclaim their land. Based on a true World War II event long buried beneath the waves, Dongji Rescue is an epic story of human courage and survival that transcends borders and languages.

The co-pilot was sucked halfway out of the cockpit window and all things went down.Many devices were damaged, communication with control tower broke down, passengers began losing consciousness with thin oxygen, and an enormous storm was awaiting right in front. The clock was ticking and strong-willed Captain Liu Chuanjian was determined to get out of danger and bring everyone home safe...
