The Lost Bladesman

Guan Yunchang (Donnie Yen), the greatest warrior in the land, is pressed into service by the warlord Cao Cao (Jiang Wen), who holds Guan's beloved Qilan (Sun Li) hostage until he agrees to lead the army. Felix Chong and Alan Mak set the film in the years of the Three Kingdoms, with Guan loyal to Liu Bei (Alex Fong Chung-sun), Cao Cao's enemy. Once the victories are won, the two men who need each other are bound by a respect neither can act on.
