North America Exclusive! "The Captain" Premieres on iTalkBB for Thanksgiving

"The Captain" has grossed over 2.7 billion yuan at the box office, surpassing "My People, My Country" to enter China's top 10 highest-grossing films. Based on true events, the film recreates how the heroic crew of Sichuan Airlines Flight 3U8633 on May 14, 2018 successfully handled an extreme emergency when the cockpit windshield shattered at 10,000 meters, facing hurricane-force winds, freezing temperatures, and cabin depressurization before making an emergency landing in Chengdu, ensuring the safety of all 119 passengers and 9 crew members.

The Chinese captain's exceptional professionalism and unwavering determination brought the plane home safely. The film delivers non-stop thrills from start to finish! No wonder it became the dark horse champion during the competitive National Day film season!

The stellar cast including Zhang Hanyu, Du Jiang, Yuan Quan, and Ou Hao contributed significantly to the film's success.

Many viewers praised "Yuan Quan's incredibly expressive eyes!" The veteran actress captivated audiences once again. During the crisis, her gentle yet determined gaze gave the 119 passengers in the film a sense of security.

To prepare for her role as chief flight attendant, Yuan Quan not only observed professionals but also conducted in-depth interviews with the actual crew members involved in the incident. The production team invited two Sichuan Airlines flight attendants as consultants to train Yuan Quan, Li Qin, Zhang Tian'ai and other cast members on standard procedures and emergency protocols.
