The Taking of Tiger Mountain (Chinese: 智取威虎山) is a 2014 Chinese-Hong Kong epic action film directed by Tsui Hark,[2][3] produced by Huang Jianxin and Yu Dong, and based on the novel Tracks in the Snowy Forest by Qu Bo.
[5][6][7] Zhang Hanyu portrays Yang Zirong and Lin Gengxin takes on the role of Shao Jianbo, the two protagonists of the story.
One of their problems is resolved when they defeat a group of bandits dressed as the PLA who are guarding stores of ammunition.
Reinforcements arrive via train in the form of Yang Zirong and Bai Ru, a combat medic, who are warmly greeted when they bring food.
Zirong takes the bandit spy's map and sets up a location to exchange secret messages with the soldiers.
During one, Hawk sends Ma Qinglian, a woman he has kidnapped from the local village and made his unwilling wife, to tempt Zirong.
Hawk, unable to believe his forces were defeated by a small unit, sides with Zirong, who says the village was guarded by a much larger company.
In its second week the film remained at the summit earning an additional US$58.3 million despite facing competition with Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.
