During the reign of Emperor Wencheng, the Tiger Guards secretly controlled Chang'an, growing in power. Hu Yiáng, a government official from Huainan County, is called to the capital by Emperor Ji Wuyang to eliminate corrupt officials. General Yan Fengshan, leader of the Tiger Guards, refuses to relinquish power and plots to split the nation and make himself king. He hides his forces in "Soldiers' Alley," waiting for the right moment to strike. With the emperor’s support, Hu Yiáng allies with General Gu Yu, swordsman Ye Zheng, painter Bai Wan, and scholar Xie Ziling. Together, they use their wisdom to destroy "Soldiers' Alley" and stop Yan Fengshan’s plan, restoring peace to Chang'an.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
