What happens

Seven Swords (七劍) is a 2005 wuxia film produced and directed by Tsui Hark, starring Donnie Yen, Leon Lai, Charlie Yeung, Sun Honglei, Lu Yi and Kim So-yeon. An international co-production between Hong Kong, China, South Korea and the Netherlands, it served as the opening film to the 2005 Venice Film Festival and pays homage to Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film Seven Samurai. Loosely adapted from Liang Yusheng's wuxia novel Qijian Xia Tianshan, it follows the story of seven swordsmen, each wielding a special sword, protecting a village under attack by a ruthless warlord.
