IMDb-Related Linking

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is a popular resource for movie buffs which uses a unique identification system for movies and people. Because of the widespread use of "IMDb Titles" and "IMDb Names" for referring to movies and people, respectively, Rotten Tomatoes has created an "alias" system by which you can deep link to Rotten Tomatoes pages using IMDb IDs.

A typical deep link to an IMDb movie looks like the following URL:
Mad Max: http://www.imdb.com/Title?0079501

Using the IMDB ID number, "0079501", you may access the Rotten Tomatoes Mad Max page using the following URL:
Mad Max: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/alias?type=imdbid&s=0079501

Essentially, you simply need to replace the IMDb-assigned ID value at the end of the URL. Alternatively, pages are also aliased via their IMDb-assigned official titles. These titles consist of the film title plus the original year of release. Again, we use the Mad Max example:
Official IMDB Title: Mad Max (1979)
Rotten Tomatoes link: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/alias?s=Mad+Max+(1979)

Please note that the IMDb-assigned title for a particular movie may change as IMDb updates its information.

A similar system is in place for people listed on IMDb. For instance, IMDb provides the following link for actor Mel Gibson:
Mel Gibson: http://www.imdb.com/Name?Gibson,+Mel

Using the official IMDb name "Gibson, Mel", you may link to Rotten Tomatoes using the following URL:
Mel Gibson: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/alias?type=imdbname&s=Gibson,+Mel
