Description:

River Sunset plunges viewers into the tumultuous era of World War II, drawing inspiration from real historical events and people. The story begins dramatically on March 19, 1942, when Allied aircraft land at Yangon Airport, only to discover it has fallen under Japanese control. A desperate escape attempt ensues, but tragedy strikes the following day as the aircraft is shot down and its passenger vanishes. In response, a critical rescue mission is launched. This mission reactivates Wumu Yilang, a seasoned underground spy who has lived under a Japanese guise and remained inactive for five years. To ensure the mission's success, Ye Bi Ying is dispatched to provide crucial assistance, initiating a tense and vital cooperation between the two. This compelling coproduction with the U.S.A. promises an authentic and gripping portrayal of wartime espionage and survival.
