Crouching tiger: Hidden Dragon

Set against the magnificent landscapes of China, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon unfolds as an epic tale in which the spectacular martial arts choreography of Yuen Wo-Ping (The Matrix) meets the emotionally charged, classic storytelling of Ang Lee. The result is an extraordinary cinematic experience: romantic, visually grand, and emotionally powerful.

Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) is renowned as one of the most gifted warriors of his generation. He is traveling to Beijing to entrust the legendary sword "Green Destiny" to the honorable Sir Te (Lung Sihung). After years of service, Li Mu Bai seeks a new path in life, but first, he wishes to avenge his murdered master. Along the way, he reunites with his close friend Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), and the two grapple with the deep feelings they harbor for one another. Shu Lien is also heading to Beijing, and Li Mu Bai asks her to ensure the sword is safely delivered. However, the sword is stolen from Sir Te, and Shu Lien pursues the cunning thief, who vanishes into the shadows of the night. Unaware that the sword has been taken, Li Mu Bai arrives in Beijing and becomes embroiled in the hunt for the clever and skilled thief.
