Film Synopsis:
In 198 BC, Cao Cao (Chow Yun Fat), Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, traveled east and defeated Chinas greatest warrior Lu Bu, terrifying every ambitious warlord across the land. Several years later, after taking the Han emperor under his wing, Cao crowned himself king of Wei. He built the magnificent bronze Sparrow Island to symbolize his power and rumors spread that he would succeed the Emperor. Meanwhile, young lovers Mu Shun (Hiroshi Tamaki) and Ling Ju (Liu Yi-Fei) are taken from a prison camp to a hidden tomb, where they spend five cruel years together, training as assassins for a secret mission. In 220 BC, astronomical signs predicted dramatic changes. As a result, Caos son Cao Pi (Yau Sam -Chi) and Caos followers urge Cao to become the new emperor - but unknown opposing forces plot against him. Uploaded by: Freeman May 18, 2022 at 07:02
