Plot summary
The Second Sino-Japanese War begins in full in 1937, and the Japanese advance takes Shanghai and Nanjing, then Wuhan in 1938. Chongqing becomes the wartime capital, and in the years that follow, Japanese aircraft bomb the city while the remnants of the Chinese Air Force keep flying in its defense. Refugees fill Chongqing as the raids go on. Into this, an American pilot arrives in a Chinese province to train would-be flyers in flying warplanes against the Japanese. In 1940, five people take on the job of protecting a military machine that the attacks keep putting at risk.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Air Strike (2018)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Screening plans for Air Strike in China were canceled in October 2018 after TV anchor Cui Yongyuan leaked that guest actor Fan Bingbing had been caught up in a tax evasion scandal while starring in the film; the US home video release went ahead as scheduled.
- The film's troubled production, multiple delays and highly inflated costs that pushed it over budget, led to much of the shot material being cut, the planned 3D theatrical version being scrapped and the major Chinese release being canceled altogether.
