The Vietnamese survival action film ‘Trại Buôn Người’ (The Journey Of Heroes / Human Trafficking Camp) has become a major box office phenomenon. Directed by Toni Dương Bảo Anh and produced by Mèo Bích Trang, the production depicts a criminal network described as a ‘giant scamming machine’. Developed by Chói Entertainment over five years, the project involved over 10,000 cast and crew members and was recognized by the Vietnam Records Organization (VietKings) for its massive scale.
Following its September 25, 2026, release, the film achieved rapid commercial success, reaching 50 billion VND within 48 hours. By October 11, it surpassed 400 billion VND, serving approximately 4.5 million viewers.

The film follows the character Ny, played by Steven Nguyễn, as he attempts to rescue his sister from a criminal syndicate.
