Synopsis

Set during the harrowing, hell-ravaged era of the infamous warlords, the small city state of Liang lies defenceless against the terrifying hordes of the Zhao nation.

Their salvation lies in one man, Ge Li ("Infernal Affairs" superstar Andy Lau). A mysterious, nomadic warrior, Ge Li possesses an awe-inspiring grasp of military strategy and is utterly lethal in the art of combat.

Armed with only this cunning and startling bravery, he marshals the demoralized citizens into a vicious and powerful fighting machine, forcing back the rampant armies of the Zhao.

But as his victory is within his grasp, Ge Li discovers a shattering betrayal that may well tear apart the very nation he is seeking to protect.
