Pitch

Following a failed murder attempt orchestrated by his own brother, the 13th Prince of the kingdom of Yan-ling stays with Fei, a humble fisherman but fearsome swordsman to whom he owes his life. Charmed by Fei's innocence and skill, the fallen prince asks him to go and fetch his fiancée, Moon Crescent. Many obstacles will get in the way of the well-bred young woman and the naive villager. However, these two turn out to be closer than it seems ...

Directed by Sammo Hung, a leading figure in Hong Kong cinema, The Moon Warriors revives the great tradition of wu xia pian with its sumptuous sets and its spectacular aerial combats, choreographed by Ching Siu-ting and Corey Yuen. The cast, featuring Andy Lau, Anita Mui, Kenny Bee and Maggie Cheung – the best actors of their generation - completes this thrilling yet melancholy romantic intrigue.
