Operation Moscow (2018)

Other name: 莫斯科行动, 莫斯科行動, Mo Si Ke Xing Dong, Операция Москва, Московское дело

Description:

Set in the early 90s following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Operation Moscow captures a turbulent era of capitalism. As Chinese entrepreneurs flock to Moscow seeking new business opportunities, a ruthless Chinese criminal element emerges to prey on them, exploiting the belief that they are beyond the reach of both Russian and Chinese law. The tension peaks after a dramatic Old West style train robbery occurs on the Beijing-Ulan Bator-Moscow Express. In response, a team of five Chinese police officers travels to Moscow on an unofficial mission to bring the culprits to justice. Operating completely undercover without weapons, badges, electronic equipment, or official authority, these officers cannot rely on brute force. Instead, this compelling series follows their journey as they use sheer wits, humor, and compassion to navigate a dangerous foreign landscape. Operation Moscow offers a refreshing, character-driven crime story that stands out from typical action-heavy thrillers.
