The release of commercial films is a big step forward for state-owned film studios with special features such as the People's Public Security Cinema. This year, the Vietnamese film market became vibrant with the commercial release of a series of State films, "Red Rain" by the People's Army Cinema and "death in the air" by the People's Public Security Cinema.
The People's Public Security Cinema was established in 1970 with the main task of producing traditional historical documentaries for the entire People's Public Security force, in addition to participating in producing a number of sitcoms, long-running TV series, and a few movies...
Some typical films produced by the People's Public Security Cinema include "The Fighting continues" by director Nguyen Khac Loi released in 1966, "The One Who Nam Khong" by director Long Van released in 1990...
The film death in the air is a rare film project produced by the Peoples Public Security Cinema for a long time, and is a big hit when it first collaborated with a private company to release the film in theaters and commercial release.
death in the air has a non-pirating theme, this is a rare and rarely exploited theme in Vietnamese cinema directed by Le Nhat Quang. The aviation security documents are expected to make an appeal, turning "Aeropodemic War" into a blockbuster at the cinema at the end of September.
According to documents from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, many pilots have occurred after 1975, when the civil aviation industry was in the preliminary stage, making efforts to reform and perfect. On June 26, 1978, an incident occurred when a group of non-ningrators impersonating passengers plotted to rob a DC-4 piloted by Pham Trung Nam's crew on the Da Nang - Buon Ma Thuot route. At that time, DC-4 of Vietnam Airlines carrying 60 passengers took off from Da Nang airport, implementing the Da Nang - Buon Ma Thuot - Tan Son Nhat schedule.
The group used weapons to threaten the flight crew with a failed bid to attack and request a change of direction to fly abroad.
The flight crew fought bravely and resolutely in response, preventing the group from breaking into the cockpit. The flight crew both resisted the pilots and handled the situation to bring the plane to Da Nang airport for landing.
The non-theft topic is considered a breath of fresh air, containing many thrilling and attractive details for Vietnamese audiences. The film features a cast of popular stars such as Thai Hoa, Kaity Nguyen, Thanh Son...
According to the film crew, the biggest difficulty of The War in the Air is to bring the audience into space and psychology of the post-war period, when Vietnamese aviation and security equipment were still rudimentary, each flight was full of risks.
The film crew invested in restoring the entire aircraft interior to recreate the atmosphere after 1975, from the control panel, seats, to the film color.
In addition to the layer of images and colors, The War in the Air is also trying to create a truly old world - where death can come from a gunshot, or simply a wrong decision in a narrow cabin.
2025 marks the big win for a series of hundred-billion-dong film projects. In just the first 7 months of the year, Vietnamese films have continuously reached the milestones of revenue of 100 - 300 billion VND, creating a vibrant, diverse and rich market. It is expected that The War in the Air will have good revenue with attractive stories and scripts, creating a unique mark for the People's Public Security Cinema.
