Operation Red Sea. Film Introduction:
A coup d'état has taken place in the Middle Eastern country of the Republic of Ivia, and the armed conflict is escalating. The naval frigate Linyi, which has just completed a hostage rescue mission in Somalia, is ordered to go to Ivia to carry out an evacuation mission. Captain Gao Yun (Zhang Hanyu) sends the Jiaolong commando team led by Yang Rui (Zhang Ye) to land in the area and escort the overseas Chinese to leave safely. However, the terrorist organization Zaka forces the evacuees into a firefight, and a fierce battle is inevitable. Meanwhile, a French-Chinese reporter, Xia Nan (Hai Qing), is tracking down the fact that William Bersenbaum is selling nuclear materials in Evia, while Zaka raids the company where Bersenbaum works with the intention of stealing the nuclear materials. During the melee, a Chinese employee of Dr. Parson's company becomes a hostage. In order to rescue the hostage, eight Jiaolong team members must infiltrate the gathering point of 150 terrorists, who use their faith and blood to forge a monument of Chinese soldiers' tenacity and perseverance! This movie is based on the Yemeni evacuation incident.
