“This is a film based on the Battle of the Red Cliff and other events during the end of the Han Dynasty; it takes place immediately prior to the period of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China. In 208 A.D., the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minster Cao Cao convinces the fickle Emperor Han the only way to unite China is to declare war on the kingdoms of Xu in the west, and East Wu in the south. Thus begins a military campaign of unprecedented scale, led by the Prime Minister, causing the two kingdoms to form an alliance. Numerous battles ensue on land and water, eventually culminating in the battle of Red Cliff.”
