Logline

An epic documentary tracing Taiwan’s transformation into a global

semiconductor leader — a journey that began half a century ago with bold bets

and quiet builders who shaped the future.

Synopsis

In 2019, director Hsiao Chu-Chen was deeply moved by stories shared at the

memorial of semiconductor pioneer Hu Ding-Hwa—accounts of engineers who,

driven by a sense of national mission, journeyed overseas to acquire the crucial

knowledge that ignited Taiwan’s chip industry. Their spirit of sacrifice and

collective resolve not only laid the foundation for Taiwan’s semiconductor

revolution, but also marked a pivotal chapter in the island’s struggle for survival

and global relevance.

Directed by award-winning Hsiao Chu-Chen and produced by semiconductor

veteran Ben Chen and acclaimed Oscar member Ben Tsiang, this five-year

project draws on insights from voices across generations—from early

contributors to today’s professionals in the semiconductor industry. A Chip

Odyssey traces Taiwan’s journey from humble beginnings to its emergence as

a critical pillar of the digital world. Through the eyes of pioneering engineers,

female line technicians, frontline policymakers, visionary scientists, and a new

generation now facing critical choices, the film reveals how, half a century ago,

an entire island came together in a high-stakes gamble to shape its own

destiny—and the future of global technology.

Though Taiwan accounts for less than 0.02% of the world’s landmass, it has

become an indispensable force in the era of AI and advanced chipmaking. As

the invisible engines of modern life, chips produced in Taiwan now power

everything from smart devices to strategic defense, placing the island at the

center of the global technology race.

A Chip Odyssey is not only a chronicle of technological ascent; it is a powerful

testament to the spirit of a small island that poured its heart and soul into

survival, innovation, and global relevance. As tensions rise and the

semiconductor race intensifies, the film reminds us that behind every chip lies

a human story—and behind every breakthrough, a cross-generational gamble.

Director’s Statement

This was the first time in my documentary career that I felt such immense

pressure, facing an unfolding story I could not fully predict. And yet, a quiet but

firm voice inside me kept pushing me forward: “You have to finish this!”

In June 2025, I finally completed A Chip Odyssey. While this is a story about

Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, it is not merely about success, nor is it only

about technology. What I truly wanted to share was the revolutionary spirit and

perseverance of a generation of engineers—and above all, their courage and

sense of duty to carry the flag and shoulder a national mission during times of

crisis.

This deep emotional legacy, spanning half a century, moved me profoundly. It

also compelled me and my team to confront Taiwan’s reality—not only the

island’s physical boundaries, but also the boundaries imposed by global politics.

These are realities we cannot escape.

In 2019, Morris Chang said at a TSMC sports day “TSMC was seen as a key

battleground”, in 2024, he added “Over the past five years, we’ve truly become

the bona fide battleground”. Those five years were the exact five years I spent

making this film. From the intensifying U.S.-China rivalry, to the volatile global

semiconductor landscape, to the rapid rise of AI, and the growing international

pressure—I asked myself more than once: if I had known how turbulent things

would become, would I still have dared to make this film?

At this moment, I don’t speak only as a documentary filmmaker. More than

anything, I hope this work can serve as my humble contribution—to help

preserve the story of a small island that has fought with all its might to survive.

【電影簡介】

★首部刻劃台灣半導體發展史的紀錄片電影。

導演蕭菊貞在2019年參加科技界前輩胡定華的追思會，深受與會者分享的台灣半導體故事觸動。他們肩負國家使命，遠赴海外取回半導體製造的技術火種，那份革命情感與奮鬥精神，不僅開創了台灣半導體產業的契機，也見證了台灣的島嶼命運與生存挑戰。「這段歷史不能忘記！」成為導演拍攝這部紀錄片的初衷。台灣雖僅占全球陸地面積不到萬分之二，卻掌握著AI與先進製程晶片的關鍵技術，成為地緣政治的兵家必爭之地。台積電生產的晶片不僅牽動全球戰略與商業競爭，也讓台灣在國際局勢中扮演前所未有的重要角色。

矽科技時代，微小的晶片隱身在我們的生活之中，每分每秒控制著世界的運轉，半世紀過去，當年的半導體的種子已然成為一棵大樹守護著台灣，在這部紀錄片中，也讓我們看見晶片背後的台灣，如何傾全島之力在全球科技競賽中，站上關鍵地位，如何在強國利益間，為島嶼的安身立命奮鬥。

《造山者－世紀的賭注》訪問超過80位見證半導體發展的關鍵人物，從當年的第一批工程師、女作業員、相關政策與科技界前輩，再到今日面臨抉擇的年輕工程師，本片深度呈現了台灣半導體產業如何從無到有，再蛻變成為全球科技發展的重要推手，這段跨越半世紀的紀錄片電影，見證了台灣重要的一頁近代史。
