Zhang Yimou's sumptuous, action-filled martial arts epic is set in China in AD 859. The film stars Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro as Leo and Jin, police officers charged with finding a secret society, the Flying Daggers, who are sworn to overthrow the government.
They learn that, incredibly, one of the most dangerous agents is Mei (Zhang Ziyi), a beautiful dancing girl. But as they close in on her, the two men's love for her, and the dangers they face, lead to danger and betrayal in what is both a thriller and a tragic tale of love. In Mandarin with subtitles.
