Synopsis by Mark Deming
In this period martial arts drama, the Shaolin Temple is brought to ruin, and Emperor Kao seeks revenge by plotting to kill the Emperor. To get closer to his nemesis, Kao disguises himself as an underling of the Ching Empire; however, the former students of the Shaolin Temple believe Kao is a turncoat, and map out a plan to murder him, little realizing they're both fighting for the same side. The Heroes stars Ti Lung and Chan Wai Man.
