The Cheetah

Plot Synopsis

The story follows a kid named Qiao Yuanchao,played by ShiPengyuan. He's a hotshot graduate from the SWAT academy, full of confidence and thinking he's the best. He joins the elite "Cheetah Commando" unit and gets a harsh reality check. He flunks the entry assessment, and his ego takes a big hit. So, he has to start over from the bottom.

A maintenance squad leader, Zhang Lan (played by Jiang Luxia), takes him under her wing. She teaches him the technical skills every commando needs. Qiao Yuanchao gets serious and turns into a curious guy who takes everything apart to see how it works. The unit's commander, Ling Zhengrong (played by Yang Shuo), starts to notice his effort. Qiao also conquers his fear of water andperforms a heroic rescue during a dragon boat race.

Theplot heats upwhen the team gets assigned to an overseas security detail for a counter-terrorism mission. Qiao Yuanchao and Commander Ling fight side-by-side and get the job done. But it comes at a cost. His mentor, Zhang Lan, is killed in action.
