About Red Rain

Red Rain (Vietnamese: Mưa đỏ [mɯɤ ɗɔ̂]) is a 2025 Vietnamese epic historical war drama film directed by Đặng Thái Huyền from a screenplay she co-wrote with Chu Lai. An adaptation of the novel of the same name by Chu Lai, it follows a squad of People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) soldiers throughout the 81-day Second Battle of Quảng Trị at Quảng Trị Citadel in 1972, during the Vietnam War. A joint production by the Vietnamese People's Army Cinematography, HKFilm, and Galaxy Studio, the film stars Đỗ Nhật Hoàng, Lê Hạ Anh, Steven Nguyễn, Phương Nam, Lâm Thanh Nhã, Lê Hoàng Long, Đình Khang, and Nguyễn Hùng. Red Rain premiered on August 18 and 20 in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, respectively, before its nationwide release in Vietnam on August 22, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam's independence. It was met with positive reviews by critics for its portrayal of the battle, cast performances, cinematography, and score, although its characterization and script received some criticism. With a box office gross of 714 billion Vietnamese đồng, Red Rain is the highest-grossing Vietnamese film of all time, and the only Vietnamese film to have grossed at least 600 and 700 billion đồng. It was selected as the Vietnamese entry for Best International Feature Film at 98th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.
