Synopsis :

China, December 1937.
The country is at war with Japan. Beijing and Shanghai have already fallen. Japanese troops arrive at the doors of the capital, Nanjing. Following weeks of bombardment, local and foreign officials have fled the city in ruins.
LU, a charismatic Chinese General intensely determined to repel the enemy, leads his men in defense of their capital, street by street. They have little ammunition left as they face the Japanese tanks, but they refuse to leave.
Mr. TANG is guardedly optimistic as he and his family flee to the International Safety Zone, where a growing number of Chinese civilians find shelter. Operated by the city's few remaining foreigners, the zone has become a large refugee camp. Miss JIANG, a young Chinese teacher with a strong sense of mission, coordinates life in this crowded enclave, attempting to protect as many individuals as she can.

1937年的12月南京城破開始。儘管有大批的國民黨士 兵潰逃出城，但也仍然有大量不願意投降的士兵留了下來， 在這座城市的街頭巷尾展開了無望而慘烈的抵抗。其中就有 國民黨精銳部隊一員的陸劍雄（劉燁）。在抵抗最終失敗， 數十萬中國人的鮮血終於染紅長江之後， 南京全城淪為一 片死地。唯一尚有生機存留的，就是位於金陵女子學院 的“安全區”。在這裏，大量的難民因為拉貝的“納粹”身份而 暫時獲得了喘息的機會。而實際主持安全區難民工作的，則 是拉貝的秘書唐先生（范偉）和歸國女教師姜淑雲（高圓 圓）。但是，在日軍的眼中，所謂“安全區”，只不過是一個 囤積了大量女性資源的“倉庫”。最後，中國的女人們用她們 的身軀拯救著隱藏在難民營的男人，也在拉貝面前書寫了一 段中國人堅強的歷史。角川（中泉英雄）是日本十六師團的 一名普通士兵。被隊友稱為“讀過書的人”的他，敏感、涉世 未深，甚至在參戰之前都還沒有交過女朋友。在南京城作為 佔領者的“生活”中，體驗過種種為了維持這種“生活”而付出 的人性的代價。最終，他把兩名中國倖存者送出了南京城， 然後舉槍自殺。
