Synopsis:
In Seventeenth Century China a government edict banning the practice of martial arts results in a bloody killing spree as military forces ravage the country ruthlessly beheading anybody failing to adhere to the new law. Facing extinction, the residents of a small village seek the help of a master swordsman and his small band of disciples, all of whom possess unimaginable skills of swordsmanship.
Teaming up with several of the villagers, this small band of warriors become known as the Seven Swords and together they begin a heroic journey that will lead them to their ultimate destiny - a desperate and deadly fight for justice. With its spectacularly realistic action sequences shot in locations ranging from the desert of Turfan in Xinjiang to the breathtaking glaciers of the real-life Mount Heaven, Tsui Hark`s Seven Swords is an awesome martial arts cinema experience.
