Blockbuster director Feng Xiaogang, China's answer to Steven Spielberg, follows up his celebrated disaster movie Aftershock with this unflinching, action-packed portrayal of one of the darkest times in China's history, based on Liu Zhengyun's bestselling novel Remembering 1942.
With a cast that includes Adrien Brody, Tim Robbins and Fan Xu, Back to 1942 is an epic reconstruction of the deadly drought of 1942 that took its toll on central China's Henan province during the war against Japan, resulting in a loss of at least three million people.
In the midst of the devastation, an American journalist (Brody) searches for answers, and slowly comes to understand that there may be a greater connection between these tragedies and his political theories than he once thought.
