Un despiadado bandido gobierna las tierras del noroeste de China desde su fortaleza en la montaña del tigre. Un capitán del Ejercito Popular de Liberación lanzará una ofensiva contra el dictador y enviará a un investigador para que se infiltre en sus filas y los destruya desde el interior.
Taking Tiger Mountain was the very first model film produced during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Set during the civil war in 1946, it follows a detachment of the People's Liberation Army in Mandchuria as they are fighting a group of bandits hiding in the mountains. Based on a novel from the 50s, Taking Tiger Mountain was first a revolutionary opera before being made into film by director Xie Tieli.
