China Rose (1983)

When a Minnesota businessman (George C. Scott) travels to China in search of his son (Michael Biehn, THE TERMINATOR) who went missing during the Cultural Revolution in communist China. With the assistance of his translator and guide (Ali MacGraw), he tries to unravel the truth behind his son's disappearance. Directed by Robert Day (CORRIDORS OF BLOOD), this is a standard mystery/adventure with few (if any) surprises. A made for television movie (although it apparently was released theatrically overseas) is harmless fodder. The Hong Kong and Macao locations bring a flavor of authenticity as well as color to the proceedings while Scott and MacGraw make for an unlikely coupling. With James Hong, Dennis Lill and David Snell.
