GOD OF WAR

SYNOPSIS: Sixteenth-century China’s coast is under siege by ruthless wokou pirate raiders, and it will take an uneasy alliance between two warriors — the grizzled veteran Commander Yu Dayou and the fiercely disciplined young General Qi Jiguang — to save it. Martial arts legend Sammo Hung and action star Vincent Zhao anchor this sweeping historical epic with bone-crunching choreography and massive battlefield spectacle. It’s a rousing tribute to a real-life military hero, staged with the scale and grit of a war film and the precision of classic kung fu cinema.
