The “Red Rain” movie is produced by the People’s Army Cinema and directed by Meritorious Artist Dang Thai Huyen. The film has participation of artists such as Do Nhat Hoang, Le Ha Anh, Nguyen Dinh Khang, Lam Thanh Nha, Hua Vi Van, Steven Nguyen, Le Hoang Long, and others.
The film recounts the brave and resilient fight of soldiers from Squad 1 of K3 Tam Son at the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel during the historic 81 days and nights.
“Red Rain” created a sensation when it immediately stirred the box office upon release. Within less than 24 hours after its premiere, the film earned more than 30 billion VND. In under a month, “Red Rain” surpassed 700 billion VND in revenue, a record figure, making it the highest-grossing Vietnamese theatrical film in history, as well as the highest-grossing historical, and revolutionary resistant war film.
After leaving cinemas, “Red Rain” was widely released on Viettel’s TV360 platform and continued to draw massive attention, reaching more than 1 million views within only 24 hours of release.
This aligns with the film’s goal of reaching a wide audience both inside and outside Viet Nam, especially viewers in remote, mountainous, and island areas, thereby helping to spread the film’s values and significance.
“Red Rain” is also being screened for free as part of the Film Week celebrating the 2025 Viet Nam Film Festival in many localities nationwide.
On September 30, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued Decision No. 3479/QD-BVHTTDL submitting “Red Rain” to the preliminary selection round of the 98th Academy Awards (Oscars) for the Best International Feature Film category, organised by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the US.
According to the announcement of the US Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the shortlist for the Best International Feature Film category will be released on December 16.
