Set during the Ming dynasty, the film sees the emperor\u2019s minister of defense framed by a powerful court eunuch and executed. Soon after, the minister\u2019s children are hunted by a clan of elite assassins known as the Black Arrow Troop. The ensuing pursuit takes them to the remote Dragon Gate Inn, where mysterious strangers begin to gather and paths\u2014and swords\u2014soon cross. Masterful compositions by cinematographer Hua Hui-ying (A Touch of Zen) capture tightly choreographed set pieces, each one more splendorous than the last\u2014with the stakes always rising. A clear inspiration for myriad subsequent movies, from Ang Lee\u2019s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Quentin Tarantino\u2019s Kill Bill, this thrilling landmark of film history returns to the screen in a new, beautifully restored digital transfer, created from the original negative.
