Cold Steel (Chinese title: 遍地狼烟; Pinyin: Biàn dì láng yān) is a 2011 Chinese action war film directed by David Wu. The story takes place in China during the Second World War. When Mu Liangfeng (Peter Ho), a young hunter from a small village, rescues a downed American Flying Tiger, his life is irrevocably changed. A chance meeting with a lovely young widow, Lui Yan (Song Jia), and a teahouse brawl with a group of rowdy Chinese soldiers leads Liangfeng along a path that results in his becoming one of the country's top marksmen. Along with his sniper unit, he must face insurmountable odds at every turn to liberate his country from the brutal invasion of Japanese forces.
