Celebrate the Lunar New Year with this legendary classic!
Two master warriors (Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh) are faced with their greatest challenge when the treasured Green Destiny sword is stolen. A young aristocrat (Zhang Ziyi) prepares for an arranged marriage, but soon reveals her superior fighting talents and her deeply romantic past. As each warrior battles for justice, they come face to face with their worst enemy—and the inescapable, enduring power of love.
Set against 19th-century China's breathtaking landscape, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the action-packed, four-time Oscar-winning smash hit from acclaimed director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility, Life of Pi) featuring stunning martial arts choreography by Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix). "At once elegant and sublimely silly, contemplative and gung-ho, balletic and bubble-gum, a rousing action film and an epic love story, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one bursting-at-the-seams holiday gift, beautifully wrapped by the ever-surprising Ang Lee."—David Ansen, Newsweek.
In Mandarin and Chinese with English subtitles.
