Bodyguards and Assassins
1906, City of Victoria (British Colony of Hong Kong). In five hours, in the distance of thirteen blocks, the one man who holds a nation's fate must survive relentless attempts on his life with only eight bodyguards to protect him. Against hundreds of assassins, these men must put their courage to the test in order to protect the hopes of millions in this perilous night even if it means fighting to the death. After a tentative first hour the action flies fast and furious in this exhilarating extravaganza filmed against a multi-million dollar full scale Hong Kong street set.
