Zhang Yimou's 'Hero' is set in ancient China, when the country was divided into seven independent kingdoms. The king of the kingdom of Qin (Daoming Chen), is under permanent threat of assassination attempts, especially from his greatest enemies, the warriors Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung), and Sky (Donnie Yen).
However, when one of the magistrates of his kingdom enters the palace, claiming to have defeated all three of the king's adversaries, Qin must decide the accuracy of the claim. Through the tale the magistrate - known only as Nameless (Jet Li) - tells, Qin learns how the magistrate beat Sky in a duel and used the love between Broken Sword and Flying Snow to subdue them.
But it is only by using all of his wits can the King discover the truth of Nameless' story...
