Tentang film ini

In the year 198 BC, Cao Cao (Chow Yun Fat), the Prime Minister of Han Dynasty, ventured to the east and defeated China's greatest warriors Lu Bu, terrifying every ambitious warlord across the country. Several years later, after taking the Han Emperor under his wing Cao crowned himself King of Wei. He built a magnificent Bronze Sparrow Island to symbolise his power and rumours spread that he would replace the Emperor. Meanwhile, young lover Mu Shun (Tamaki Hiroshi) and Ling Ju (Crystal Liu Yi Fei) were taken from a prison camp to a hidden tomb where they spent five cruel years together being trained as assassins for a secret mission. In the year 220 BC astronomical signs predict dramatic change. As a result, Cao's son Cao Pi (Qui Xin Zhi) and Cao's followers urge Cao to become the new Emperor. However opposing forces plot against him. 2013 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved (Original Title - Tong que tai)
