Zhang Yimou (The Great Wall), the acclaimed filmmaker behind 2002’s Hero, 2018’s Shadow and 2021’s Cliff Walkers, is prepping Scare Out, an upcoming espionage thriller starring Jackson Yee (Resurrection) and Zhu Yilong (Cloudy Mountain).
When sensitive national intelligence is leaked, the country is put in danger. A security team launches a fast-moving hunt to find who’s responsible, but every arrest attempt fails. As pressure builds, suspicion turns inward – toward someone within the team itself. With trust breaking down, a silent and dangerous conflict begins.
The film also stars Jia Song (The Final Master), Jiayin Lei (A Writer’s Odyssey 2), Mi Yang (Reset), Nathaniel Boyd (The Battle at Lake Changjin), Shishi Liu (Badges of Fury) and Yi Zhang (Cliff Walkers).
Alibaba Pictures Group is releasing Scare Out domestically on February 17, 2026. Watch the Trailer below:
