Hero (DVD)

Synopsis

How far would you go to become a hero?

One man will challenge an empire... This land doesn't know a real hero. Yet.

In ancient times China was divided into seven kingdoms. Qin, the king of the northern province, is under permanent threat of assassination attempts. His greatest fears are the warriors "Broken Sword", "Flying Snow," and "Sky." One day one of the magistrates of his kingdom enters the palace, claims that he defeated all three of the emperor's adversaries, and tells his story; how he beat "Sky" in a duel and used the love between "Broken Sword" and "Flying Snow" to subdue them.

Master filmmaker Quentin Tarantino presents HERO (Ying xiong from China) - starring martial arts legend Jet Li in a visually stunning martial arts epic where a fearless warrior rises up to defy an empire and unite a nation! With supernatural skill, and no fear, a nameless soldier (Jet Li) embarks on a mission of revenge against the fearsome army that massacred his people. Now, to achieve the justice he seeks, he must take on the empire's most ruthless assassins and reach the enemy he has sworn to defeat! Acclaimed by critics and honored with numerous awards, Hero was nominated for both an Oscar and Golden Globe!
