Master Wudang swordsman Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) is preparing for retirement. He entrusts his priceless 400-year-old Green Destiny sword to his friend and fellow warrior, Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) to pass on to their benefactor Sir Te (Sihung Lung).
When the sword is stolen from Sir Te’s estate, an epic battle for justice ensues – involving gifted young aristocrat Jen Yu (Zhang Ziyi), her calculating governess Jade Fox (Cheng Pei-Pei) and plenty of romance and intrigue along the way.
