This epic feature is based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a vast 600-year-old novel by Luo Guangzhong which ranks as one of China's four most important pieces of literature. His country torn asunder by civil war, Zhao, a common man heeds the call of duty and from the humblest of roots rises through the ranks on wings of courage and cunning to command an army charged with liberating the land from an evil warlord. Inspiring by action, honor and a dream of unifying his divided nation, Zhao's heroism becomes legend, but as the years pass and the throne changes hands the war still rages on. When a newly enthroned king decides peace can only be achieved by defeating the warlords once and for all, the ageing Zhao embarks on his final and greatest campaign, a road to adventure that will crown his name in glory for all time.

A sweeping action adventure with the stirring majesty of BRAVEHEART, the blistering martial balletics of HERO and the heart wrenching melodrama of CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON, the THREE KINGDOMS starring Andy Lau, Sammo Hung and Maggie Q brings to life a towering six hundred year old epic renowned as one of the greatest classical novels of Chinese literature, in all its' staggering scale and splendor.
