After a decade spent in Hollywood, Woo made a triumphant return to Asia with this lavish war epic. Inspired by one of the most famous battles in Chinese history, Woo tells the story of an outnumbered army’s extraordinary resilience and ingenuity. At the time of release it was the most expensive Chinese film ever made. Woo’s most ambitious work, it’s a breathtaking spectacle led by Leung Chiu-wai, Kaneshiro and a commanding ensemble cast.
