Director: Xu Junfeng, Xu Haofeng
100 Yards arrives on K-Time as a 2024 Chinese drama built around one athlete's derailed path and the search that follows it.
What is 100 Yards about?
The story follows a once-celebrated college athlete who walks away from a shot at professional football in the United States when his mother vanishes without explanation. Rather than chase a contract overseas, he turns inward, retracing old family ties and half-forgotten hometown connections to find out what happened to her. The search pulls him through settings far removed from any stadium, and the film uses his athletic discipline — the focus, the stubbornness, the refusal to quit — as the engine behind a personal, unglamorous investigation rather than a sports triumph. Xu Junfeng and Xu Haofeng direct with restraint, letting the mystery of the mother's disappearance carry the emotional weight instead of leaning on big set pieces.
Cast & crew
Jacky Heung anchors the film in the lead role, playing the son with a mix of physical bravado and quiet worry that shifts as the search stretches on. Andy On and Bea Hayden Kuo fill out supporting roles that widen the emotional stakes, while Tang Shiyi, Li Yuan, Zhao Zheng, Li Mei, and Kevin Lee round out an ensemble that keeps the film's world feeling lived-in rather than staged around a single star.
Context & significance
Released in 2024, 100 Yards is a Chinese production running 113 minutes, framed by directors Xu Junfeng and Xu Haofeng as a drama rather than a straightforward sports film. Its premise — an athlete's choice to give up a major opportunity for family — gives the story a grounded, domestic center even as the plot moves through unfamiliar territory in search of answers.
