Hero, a Chinese language film, was shot entirely in Asia from the summer of 2001 until the beginning of 2002. Using the assasination attempt of the historical figure, Chin Shi Huang Di (The First Emperor of China) as a backdrop, this film attempts to explore and develop a better understanding of the Chinese concept of a hero. In a Chinese cultural context, it hopes to explore the preconceptions and misinterpretations of heroism and heroes.

Director: Zhang Yi-mou

Actors: Jet Li, Zhang Zi-yi, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, Donnie Yen, Chen Dao-ming
