영화 제목 ‘24 시티’는 중국 쓰촨성 청두(成都)에 있는 아파트의 이름이다. 원래 이 건물은 1958년 중국의 제1차 5개년 계획경제개발 시대에 국가 주도로 세워진 공장 ‘팩토리 420’이었으나, 냉전이 끝나자 군수산업의 위축으로 공장 운영이 불가능해졌다. 결국 2005년 중국 정부는 ‘팩토리 420’을 폐쇄하고, 이를 재개발하여 ‘24 시티’라는 거대 아파트로 만들었다. 지아 장커는 이 건물의 역사를 찍는다는 것은 중국의 근대를 다루는 것이며, 동시에 중국 사회주의 인민들의 역사를 기록하는 것이라고 생각했다. 그래서 이 영화는 실제로 이 공장에서 일했던 5명의 노동자들의 인터뷰를 담고 있으며, 그와 동시에 삼대에 걸친 세 여자의 이야기가 진행된다.
