The Resistance (Chinese: 反抗者; pinyin: Fǎnkàng zhě) is a Chinese martial arts action film set during World War II, directed by Peng Zhang Li.

The Resistance is inspired by the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China where over 300,000 people in the capital of Nanjing were massacred. The movie mixes an epic tale of revenge with elements of martial art, ninja, adventure, and war movies.
