Zhang Yimou's period thriller Cliff Walkers is set to open theatrically in China and North America on April 30. It's the Chinese filmmaking legend's first attempt at the spy genre, taking place in the snowy, shadowy world of 1930s Manchukuo, the puppet state set up in northern China by pre-WWII imperial Japan.
