Plot Introduction:
In order to complete the great cause of unifying the three kingdoms that Liu Bei failed to achieve, General Zhao Zilong, over 80 years old, leads Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's sons in beginning the northern expedition. The film spans over 60 years through time and space, showcasing famous battles of the Three Kingdoms period such as the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Changban through Zhao Zilong's memories. In the movie, the ever-victorious General Zhao Zilong who excels in fighting on horseback gave Andy Lau a lot of trouble. "There are two big war scenes at the beginning and end of the film. Fighting is one thing, but being on horseback all day was simply unbearable for me. My feet were tied up, my hands were worn out, and my butt was even rubbed raw by the saddle."
Regarding the current situation where the theme of this film overlaps with John Woo's "Red Cliff," Dante Lam expressed that there is no competition: "A Vietnamese friend told me that there is a local saying, 'Many ships do not block the sea.' The Three Kingdoms era is too vast; shooting just two films about it now is far too few."
Director Dante Lam explained the reason for his preference for Zhao Yun: "Besides being skilled in combat and a heroic figure suitable for commercial elements in movies, Zhao Yun's life is full of emotions worth reflecting on. For the characters of the Three Kingdoms, death is not the most terrifying thing. Watching the Five Tiger Generals leave one by one, the pressure he endured during this process was the hardest to overcome." At an age beyond seventy, Zhao Yun once again came out of retirement to help Liu Bei conquer Wei and Wu, but got trapped on Fengming Mountain, facing the ultimate battle of his life. Reflecting on past events under the setting sun, in this fleeting moment, scenes of bloody battles and moments of joy, laughter, sorrow, and worry in military life appear before the eyes of this old general.
In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, with the Wei army aggressively advancing, the newly appointed engineer Zhao Yun encounters Luo Ping'an, a fellow townsman who fights injustice. They hit it off immediately and share their aspirations for the turbulent times. Under the strategy of attack as defense by Shu Han's military advisor Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun volunteers to raid the enemy camp and achieves great success. During the Battle of Changban, to prevent Luo Ping'an from being executed for losing Liu Bei's wife and child, Zhao Yun single-handedly charges into Cao Cao's camp and rescues the young lord, thus achieving fame in one battle...
