In response, there is not a single backdrops. But on https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/297761-suicide-squad we found 10 backdrops.

I see the same issue where backdrops contain no images. This is not a problem on every movie. 0 images: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/281957?api_key=aaa&append_to_response=images&id=281957 2 images: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/273248?api_key=aaa&append_to_response=images&id=273248

Now http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/297761/images?api_key=API_KEY return: {"id":297761,"backdrops":[],"posters":[{"aspect_ratio":0.675016479894529,"file_path":"/gZ5sGqFFTnjMEOO9XvOCde977a1.jpg","height":1517,"iso_639_1":"fr","vote_average":5.26785714285714,"vote_count":1,"width":1024}]}
Only one poster, but https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/297761-suicide-squad has 24 posters.

The fix for this has been pushed, you'll just have to wait for the cache to expire which is usually within ~6 hours. Many movies will start returning the proper data sooner than that.

To anyone wondering, looks like the issue lies with ISO-639-1 codes: the API only returns backdrops and posters having a defined language and defaults to English if you don't pass a language parameter to the query. Any backdrop/poster without language or with a language other than English will be ignored. You can see this with the movie 300 which has 25 backdrops but only 4 of which are set as English. The API will only return those 4 backdrops, ignoring the 21 others.
Glad to know it's fixed though! Thank you Travis.
