LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese action-adventure film "The Rescue" has hit big screen in a limited theatrical release in the United States on Friday.
The film in Mandarin is being released by CMC Pictures with Chinese and English subtitles in selected theaters in Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Phoenix and a few other major cities across the United States.
Less than 40 percent of all North American theaters are currently open due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, local media reported.
Helmed by Dante Lam, Hong Kong's highest grossing director, and starring Eddie Peng, Wang Yanlin and Xin Zhilei, among others, the film chronicles a Chinese rescue team's death-defying mission to save survivors of a fiery offshore catastrophe.
