Hero (2002)

Plot: In ancient China, during the Warring States period, a nameless warrior arrives at the palace of the ambitious King of Qin to claim rewards for defeating the kingdom's three deadliest assassins: Long Sky, Flying Snow, and Broken Sword. Sitting mere paces from the king, the Nameless soldier recounts the intricate tales of his epic duels, but the perceptive ruler begins to suspect that there is a far deeper, more treacherous conspiracy hidden within the warrior's shifting versions of the truth. Visually spectacular and emotionally gripping, it is a masterpiece of honor, sacrifice, and the ultimate cost of peace.
