About Father and Hero
Against the vast backdrop of the Yellow River's Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge, the fates of two police officers and a gang of thieves suddenly take a turn as they pursue a major criminal gang involved in the theft and sale of jade artifacts from the ancient city of Shimen. The feud between the two sides dates back 20 years, and their paths cross once again due to the daughter of a former associate. The brutal gunfire of the past altered the destinies of their youth and ultimately led to this reunion two decades later. The wheel of fate turns, and the secrets buried in the past continue to surface, stirring up the waves of the past once more. The Yellow River, which has witnessed both heroism and honor, as well as evil and punishment, is both an epic tale of heroism and a harrowing tale of a cruel youth...
Directed by Yafeng Shao, Father and Hero leans on a strong ensemble — Jiang Wu, Shao Bing, Rao Yao — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2019.
