About the film

Set during the imperial Qing Dynasty of 19th century China, two lovers – sword-masters Li Mu Bai and Yu Shu Lien – have kept secret their amorous feelings for one another out of loyalty to a mutual friend. Mu Bai gives his famed, centuries-old sword – “Green Desitny” – over to Shu Lien for safe-keeping as he has chosen to step down from the mantle of swordsman and live a quiet life. Mu Bai instructs Shu Lien to take the sword to Beijing and turn it over to his benefactor. The sword, however, is stolen and Shu Lien is tasked with investigating the theft and recovering the beloved weapon. As the hunt for the thief tightens, it becomes clear that the suspect is no common adversary — they appear to have been trained in Wudang, a special, ancient form of combat. Shu Lien and Mu Bai will have to use every ounce of skill they can muster in order to re-take the fabled blade.

Nominated for 10 Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of those rare films where all the cinematic components are blended together seamlessly and harmoniously to give viewers an unforgettable experience.
