| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Legendary action cinema master John Woo and international
superstar Tony Leung reunite for the first time since the
1992 classic HARD BOILED with this epic historical drama set
based on a legendary 208 A.D. battle that heralded the end
of the Han Dynasty. RED CLIFF opens with power hungry Prime
Minister-turned-General Cao Cao (Zhang Fengyi) seeking permission
from the Han dynasty Emperor to organize a southward-bound
mission designed to crush two troublesome warlords that stand
in his way, Liu Bei (You Yong) and Sun Quan (Chang Chen).
As the expedition gets under way, Cao Cao’s troops
rain destruction on Liu Bei’s army, forcing the latter
to retreat. Liu Bei’s military strategist Zhuge Liang
(Takeshi Kaneshiro) knows that their only hope for survival
is to form an alliance with rival warlord Sun Quan, and reaches
out to Sun Quan’s trusted advisor, war hero Zhou Yu
(Tony Leung). Vastly outnumbered by Cao Cao’s fast approaching,
brutal army, the rebel warlords band together to mount a heroic
campaign unrivalled in history that changes the face of China
forever. A massive hit in Asia and the most expensive Asian
film production of all time, RED CLIFF is a breathtaking war
epic that marks the triumphant return of John Woo.
