The Wandering Earth is China's biggest sci-fi film to date. (direct) by Frant Gwo of My Old Classmate and starring Wu Jing of Wolf Warrior 1 and 2, The Wandering Earth was one of most anticipated films of 2019. The film is based on a short story by Liu Cixin, flagship work The Three Body Problem was (original) supposed to receive the cinematic treatment before production issues shelved the movie.
The film (release) on Feb. 5, 2019. It is set in a future Earth, whose inhabitants prepare to escape from the solar system as the sun expands into a red giant phase, (threaten) to engulf (吞没) Earth in flames. As the expanding sun changes the climate of the Earth, the governments of the world unite the leadership of the UN Security Council to build massive engines to push the planet out of the solar system and towards nearby Proxima Centauri. At the same time, the (resident) of Earth move to underground cities for the thousands-year-long transit.
However, just as the Earth begins on (it) journey across the galaxy, it gets trapped in the gravity well of Jupiter—after which it's up to Wu Jing's character Liu Peiqiang, his father, his son, his adopted daughter, and a number of Chinese soldiers and scientists (save) the world.
