A young man goes to great lengths to enter the drug syndicate to finish the undercover mission that his girlfriend started. Fang Han (Qin Junjie) and his girlfriend were childhood friends. She was an exceptional cop and undercover. Upon finding out that she was killed, Fang Han is overwhelmed with grief. He receives a secret code that only he can understand and accepts a mission to infiltrate the drug ring himself. Acting impulsively and always putting himself on the line of fire gets him noticed by their target Gu Tao (Xue Haowen) who begins to trust him. As they encounter countless dangers, Fang Han inches closer to finding his girlfriend's killer and to bringing down the syndicate once and for all.
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.
