 国有大型企业--北方桥梁厂在市场经济激烈的角逐中，固执地排斥游戏规则，最终被西南桥梁厂击败。北方厂项目负责人谢工，写下遗书，服药自尽。六个月没发工资的工人们包围了厂办公大楼。铁道部调现任西南厂厂长辛铁安"回"北方厂担任厂长。此时，与北方厂有着千丝万缕的"血缘"关系的辛铁 安恰恰正在北方厂探亲。在柔情和事业的包围中，在工人愤怒的围攻中，共产党员辛铁安的斗志被激发了。他发誓要把这条大船，带进市场经济的航道。辛铁安去探视从抢救中苏醒过来的谢工，他以男人和男人之间的对话，唤醒了一个对旧体制绝望，而对前途十分茫然的知识分子的心。厂里的改革会议，摆出了许许多多难以解决的困难。他首先带领人们走出困境思维，然后对机构进行彻底的改革，人们带着半信半疑的态度，开始卷入一场求生存的风暴中。谢工来到会场，提出重新参加市场投标。辛铁安以敏锐的嗅觉，闻到大战来临的味道。他知道这是一次机会，把全厂的力量凝聚在一起，奋力冲杀，把北方厂从计划经济的模式中彻底带入市场经济的轨道。他和谢工大胆地把目光放在最大的"蛋糕"--公路桥建设上。从而结束北方厂107年只造铁路桥，不造公路桥的历史。一场残酷的竞争，在北方厂、西南厂之间展开。这两个有着"父子"般关系的厂，有着扯不断理还乱的亲情关系人际网。竞争显得愈发残酷，愈发无情。几经较量，北方厂在17家竞争单位里脱颖而出，夺得了号称亚洲最大的单塔斜拉公路桥的建筑权。两个厂在加入WTO后，强强联手，共同到国际上去参加新的桥梁建设投标。这不是一个梦想，中国的大型国有企业正在这座通向世界的大桥上奋力拼搏。《中国桥》荣获第三届电视电影百合奖一等奖和最佳编剧奖。

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
