An anti-fraud unit comprised of police vice captain Kuang Zhong, Ma Sai and Zhu Xi is established for the purpose of taking down a major crime syndicate. A telecom fraud case is connected to a large sum of money. Kuang Zhong (Guo Xiaodong) receives urgent orders to work with Zhu Xining (Wang Qian), Ma Sai (Xu Yue) and other colleagues to form the 10th squad. Each exhibiting their own strengths, they work tirelessly to ensure the financial security of the public. However, the investigation is difficult and there are many hurdles to overcome. They are misunderstood and even rebuked for the work that they do. Under the leadership of Kuang Zhong, the team learns to help each other to crack the case.
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.
