Synopsis

During the civil war, the counterintelligence agencies of the Chinese People's Liberation Army fought against Kuomintang spies and saboteurs. Battles are already taking place in the suburbs of the city. Zhang Go-zhong, head of Kuomintang intelligence, following orders from his command, leaves a large group of saboteurs in the city. He hands over the lists of this sabotage group to the remaining resident, the major merchant Cui Xizheng. The PLA enters the city and establishes people's power. But the hidden enemy immediately begins to act.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
