Heroes of Heaven and Earth

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty in 700 AD, China had many economic and cultural exchanges with Arabia and the Middle East. The Silk Road in the Western Regions was an important route for mutual exchanges. In order to defend its integrity, the Tang Dynasty army continued to confront the Turks. Lieutenant Colonel Li (Jiang Wen) of the border garrison became a wanted criminal because he was unwilling to massacre the elderly, women and children of the Turks and violated military orders. In order to arrest him, the emperor appointed Laisu (Kiichi Nakai), the Japanese envoy from the Tang Dynasty who had repeatedly invited him back to China, as a catcher. He also promised that as long as Captain Li could be captured and brought to justice, his wish to return to the country would be fulfilled. At that time, the war was getting serious. When Kurusu came to the Western Regions, he was entrusted with escorting the general's daughter Wenzhu (Zhao Wei) back to Chang'an. On the way, he met the school captain Li. After a big battle, the two of them, regardless of their differences, met in the city of Chang'an to fight for life and death. Soon, they encountered the imperial caravan escorting the scriptures and the thieves Zian (Wang Xueqi) who coveted the camel team, and a life-and-death battle was about to begin.
