On May 18 of a certain year in the future, a nuclear power plant in a certain country will be sabotaged by terrorists, causing a serious nuclear leak, and millions of people around the world will face death threats. Zhang Yu, a Chinese anti-nuclear pollution expert, developed the wartime emergency drug WF003 at this time, and prepared to take the drug to the incident site. However, Zhang Yu was suddenly hijacked by a group of thugs and became a hostage used by the bandit leader "Wolf" in exchange for his arrested accomplices. In order to maintain world peace and fulfill its internationalist obligations, China dispatched a quick response commando led by "Black Lion" and "Snake" to rescue Zhang Yu.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
