The Warrior

Movie / Show Details

Sung-Su Kim directed this 2001 action-war film set in 1375 during the transition between Yuan and Ming dynasties. A Korean military delegation travels to China to protect diplomats negotiating peace, but when the envoys are killed in combat with Chinese and Mongol forces, the soldiers find themselves stranded. They rescue a Chinese princess played by Ziyi Zhang and decide protecting her offers their best path home while potentially improving relations between their nations. As they fight toward an isolated outpost, Mongol forces pursue them relentlessly, and the squadron’s numbers dwindle in increasingly brutal confrontations.
