The movie is based on one part of the classic Chinese novel "Romance Of The Three Kingdoms". It will depict the battle fought with over one million men in 208 AD.
During the battle, the joint force of two warlords Sun Quan and Liu Bei defeated the much stronger invading army led by warlord Cao Cao. Shortly after the battle, the Han dynasty officially ended and China split to three kingdoms.
