电影《夺冠》讲述的是中国女排从1981年首夺世界冠军到2016年拿下第九个世界冠军的历史，诠释了几代女排人历经浮沉却始终不屈不挠、不断拼搏的传奇经历。 “leap”一词既很好地捕捉了中国女排姑娘们在赛场上敏捷的身影，又隐含了中国女排在各种赛事中取得的一次次飞跃进步。

Since their first championship in 1981,China's women's national volleyball team has been the pride of the country. When they play well, people cheer in their seats at the arena and in their homes all around the country. But few of these fans know how hard the players work to make it look so easy.

Directed by renowned filmmaker Peter Ho-sun Chan, Leap, hit Chinese mainland cinemas on September 25th, 2020, smashing box office records on its opening day. The film is a cinematic depiction of the multigenerational struggle of the Chinese women's volleyball team to win glory for the nation,providing a more immersive and lively experience to recreate the Chinese women's volleyball team's Olympic victories between the 1980s and 2010s. It shows several generations of volleyball players and their journey to becoming an international powerhouse. Facing tough rivals like Brazil and the Netherlands,China's ladies have to train hard and live a“dim” daily life of never-ending blocking and spiking practice. They refuse to quit, however,working even after the stadium lights have gone out and pushing themselves through injuries.

This touching story also features a starstudded cast. One of China's most iconic screen actors, Gong Li, stars as former volleyball legend Lang Ping. Lang, nicknamed “the Iron Hammer”, is the first person in volleyball to win Olympic titles both as a player in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and as a coach in the 2016 Rio Olympics. It's Gong's first time acting in a sports film. In an earlier interview, Gong revealed that she had visited the training base of the China women's volleyball team to observe and study professionals, making her more prepared for her role as the sports legend Lang Ping.

Huang Bo acts as another famous coach who is also devoted to Chinese women's volleyball. Many volleyball players also appear. Interestingly, Lang's daughter, the United States-born Bai Lang, stars as her mother in the character's early years.

The film has scooped 9.3 points out of 10 on Maoyan, the country's largest online ticketing service. Moreover, what impresses and touches the fans most is the spirit of the women players together with the life-true performance of the cast.
