Tears of the Dragon

In 15th century Korea, a loyal general is forced to become a fugitive when he is framed for treason by a corrupt prince. He must then fight to clear his name and protect his family, all while a ruthless imperial guard hunts him down. The general's only hope lies in an unlikely alliance with a skilled female warrior and a wise old hermit.

Tears of the Dragon was a moderate success critically and commercially. While praised for its stunning martial arts sequences and strong performances, some critics found the plot to be somewhat predictable. Audiences, however, were drawn to the film's epic scope and emotional depth.
