The value of this hard work is clear. By theendof the movie，China sadvancedairforce isable to outwit and speed past its opponents， usingtheir newly developed jets to show their newfoundpower.

The J-20 fighter jet， representing the most ad-vancedtechnologicalachievementsof China，hasbeenasuperstarsinceitwasfirstseenflyingin2016. Born to Fly provides everyone with a 360-de-gree ultra-close view of the J- 20. This is the firstmovie in history to feature a real J- 20 aircraft. Asthe movie follows the test pilot s view， the audi-ence is given a look at this national treasure fromall angles. The beauty of J-20 presented in the mov-ie arouses patriotism among the Chinese audience.

今年五月，準備好見證我國空軍事業的蓬勃發展吧！

4 月 28 日，電影《長空之王》全國上映。影片講述一群空軍飛行員測試中國最新型戰機的故事。飛行員必須首先經過嚴苛的測試選拔，考驗其是否有能力參與到危險的戰機測試中。一旦通過遴選，飛行員們將直面測試技術中涉及的諸多風險，對新型戰機進行極限測試。

艱辛的試飛員工作的價值顯而易見。在影片結尾，先進的中國空軍得以在競速中超越對手并取得智勝，飛行員們駕駛著新研發出的噴氣式飛機，展示其最新的實力。

殲-20 戰斗機是中國最先進技術成果的代表之一，自 2016年首次亮相以來一直是“超級明星”。電影《長空之王》為大家提供了一次 360度超近距離觀賞殲-20 的機會，這是史上首次有電影對殲-20進行實景拍攝。跟隨著電影中試飛員的視角，觀眾們可以從各個角度欣賞這一“國寶”。影片拍出了殲-20 的威武迷人，也喚起了中國觀眾的愛國之情。

在大銀幕上，我們還能看到幾代飛行員之間的差異。新時代的年輕飛行員們與老一輩同樣無懼無畏，但同時他們對飛機技術有著更深理解。影片主人公希望發揮自己的技術和英語技能，去研習來自世界各地的飛機，這些都是片中鼓舞人心的情節。
