What happens
Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon is a 2008 action war film directed by Daniel Lee and written by Lee and Lau Ho-leung. It is loosely based on parts of the 14th-century Chinese classical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The film had a reported budget of US$25 million and was a joint production between Hong Kong, China and South Korea. It stars Andy Lau, Sammo Hung, Maggie Q, Vanness Wu, Andy On, and Ti Lung. It was released theatrically in Hong Kong on 3 April 2008. The film publicity stated that the film's script was inspired by chapter 92 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Patrick Frater of Variety wrote that the book is often cited as one of the four most important works in the corpus of Chinese literature. The book is also frequently read in South Korea. As the action takes place late in the Three Kingdoms story, the warrior Zhao Zilong, played by Andy Lau, is the lead character. The film was one of two Three Kingdoms-related films produced in 2007, the other being John Woo's two-part 288-minute Red Cliff. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
