The Chinese Widow (2017)

In the grim epoch of the 1940s, the United States reels from the devastating Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor, leaving the American spirit in tatters. Amidst this chaos, President Franklin D. Roosevelt takes a daring gamble to reignite hope, authorizing a counterstrike on Tokyo. Spearheading this audacious mission is U.S lieutenant colonel Jimmy Doolittle, leading a fleet of B25 aircraft from the storm-battered decks of the USS Hornet, setting off earlier than planned due to the relentless tempest. Upon accomplishing their mission, a dire fuel shortage stemming from a damaged right wing forces the crew to parachute out over the coast near Zhejiang, China. Jack Turner, a young pilot, finds himself in the care of Ying, a courageous local widow. Despite the language barrier, Ying risks everything, concealing the injured American in her home and aiding his escape, their hearts intertwining in the process. In a tragic twist of fate, she sacrifices her life during their daring escape, leaving her daughter in the safe hands of Turner, who ensures her safe passage to the United States. The Chinese Widow (2017) is a testament to courage, sacrifice, and the transcendent power of love amidst the tumult of war.
