‘Escape from the 21st Century’ – Witness the Action-Packed Spectacle on Fandor!

Chinese sci-fi adventure Escape from the 21st Century is heading to Cineverse later this year, including the streaming service Fandor and eventually SCREAMBOX.

A feature debut for director Yang Li, Escape from the 21st Century tells the story of three friends who gain the power to travel back and forth 20 years with a sneeze.

“Experiencing Escape from the 21st Century sparked vibrant echoes of Tsui Hark’s dynamism and Stephen Chow’s tonal mastery (major complement),” Cineverse Executive Director, Programming Eric Rowe hypes. “An exhilarating thrill ride of brazen creativity and unrelenting ingenuity, Escape delivers a dazzling fusion of genre thrills and comedic hijinks — Simply put, this film is propulsive, vibrant, and a hell of a lot of fun.”

ScreenDaily notes that the film made $15m at the China box office from an August 2024 release. It then went on an extensive festival run around the world, including Toronto, Fantastic Fest, Sitges, Hawaii, Leeds, Paris and Goa. Zhang Ruoyun, Elane Zhong and Song Yang star in the film.

Here’s an early international trailer.
