The Hero(Chinese: 英雄 Pinyin: yīng xióng ) 2002

China is split in six kingdoms and the King of Qin (Daoming Chen) wants to unite them. He summons the nameless hero (Jet Li) that killed his three greatest enemies - Sky (Donnie Yen), Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung) - to visit him in his palace and tell how he defeated the menaces. In the end, the King questions the truth of the story told by the hero. He believes that the hero indeed wishes to kill him.

The hero is another masterpiece of Zhang Yimou. It shows the new Oriental style of Zhang’s film and makes a box-office marvel, and also initiates the era of Chinese great films.
