Wolf Warriors (Chinese: 战狼) is a 2015 Chinese 3D war action film directed by Wu Jing. It was released on 2 April 2015. A sequel, titled Wolf Warriors 2, was released in China on 27 July 2017.

A Chinese special force officer with extraordinary marksmanship is confronted by a group of deadly foreign mercenaries who are hired to assassinate him by a vicious drug lord.

The script went through 14 drafts over seven years. In order to portray more realistic combat scenes, the movie used five missiles (each at a value of one million yuan), more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition, and a variety of Chinese active military aircraft, including the Chengdu J-10, Harbin Z-9, and CAIC Z-10. In one large battle scene, 32 active tanks appeared in the same shot, including a Type 96 tank.

In order to prepare for the film, Wu Jing trained at a camp in Nanjing Military Region.

Most of the film was made on location in Jiangsu province, at sites including Nanjing and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

As of 25 May 2015, it has earned US$89.11 million in China.

In China, it opened on 2 April 2015, earning US$33.32 million in its 4-day opening weekend topping the Chinese box office. In its second weekend, it fell to number two, earning US$36.19 million (behind Furious 7).
