Special police brigade sniper Zhang Yuan and observer Hu Bing in a crackdown on armed robbers, hostage Li Xiang accidentally injured. In order to take better care of the injured and paralyzed Li Xiang, Zhang Yuan left the SWAT brigade and with the help of his girlfriend Su Qiu equipped Li Xiang with a brain-controlled drone and became a tacit partner with Li Xiang inside and outside. Three years later during a news investigation, the clues led Zhang Yuan to a factory. Unexpectedly, the plant concealed the production of ephedrine, the raw material for the drug manufacturing workshop, and former teammate Hu Bing became the head of this factory.
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.
