In a country torn apart by civil war, Zhao (Andy Lau), a common man rises up the ranks to command an army that will liberate the land from an evil warlord. His heroism becomes legend when a newly enthroned king decides peace can only be achieved by defeating the warlords once and for all so the ageing Zhao is called into action for his final and greatest campaign. Three Kingdoms brings to life one of the greatest episodes in Chinese history in all its staggering scale and splendour.
