About the film
Dragon Blade is filmed at a budget of ¥2 billion (US$65 million), a record breaking budget for a Chinese film. The film shoots in Dunhuang and the Gobi Desert, which form the dramatic natural backdrop. Seven years in the making, DRAGON BLADE is an epic in the history of Chinese cinema.
The Story
In 48BC, during the Han Dynasty, Roman general Lucius crosses into China after being accused of treason. In the Gobi Desert, he fights and then befriends Huo An, a former high-ranking commander, who himself has been framed by corrupt court officials and forced into slavery. The encounter sparks a thrilling piece of history that has never before been told.
Synopsis
Huo An, the Commander of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, protects China’s border, securing peace among the warring tribes on the Silk Road. He often has to enter fights to settle disputes, slowly earning respect from all the tribes.
When a convoy of gold bearing a foreign insignia is discovered inside China, he is accused of treason and sent to the border as a slave laborer. With only a small group of his most loyal soldiers, he must fight to survive in the prison camp.
General Lucius leads a small army of Roman soldiers to the border gate and outmatch the Chinese border guards. But when Huo An enters the battle, he single-handedly turns it around and earns the respect of Lucius. Among the Romans is a blind boy called Publius, the youngest son of Rome’s Consul Crassus.
Crassus was assassinated by his ambitious eldest son, Tiberius, who is leading 100,000 soldiers towards the border gate, employing subterfuge to kidnap Lucius. With the help of the neighboring tribes, Huo An builds an army that can fight the Roman war machine. In the midst of battle, Huo An locates Lucius who has been tortured, but it is too late to save him.
He avenges the death of the Roman general, killing Tiberius in single combat. Despite the great loss of life, Huo An has restored the honor of Lucius and secured the borders of China from ruthless invaders.

Review - Once again seeing stars in real thanks to Encore Films, is really amazing and exciting~ Among all of Jacky's movies, I really feel this one is the best with many meaning added to this movie. I have been telling everyone how amazing is the show after watching it. Having the media pass, and went up close to them, leaves me kinda starstruck with a distant of only less than 2 meters away from them~ Learnt a lot from humble Jacky's speech. He is really down to earth and one can learn a lot just by listening. I can really feel the hard work and efforts that were poured into making this film.
