The First Emperor of China ( IMAX )

It was one man who founded the great nation of China - his name was Qin Shihuang, the First Emperor. He not only gave China its name, but also founded the longest-enduring nation state in the history of the world. Much of the story has never been told before, and few Westerners are aware of his incredible achievements. From the grandiose inner sanctum of Emperor Qin's royal palace, to fierce battles with feudal kings, this historical drama re-creates the glory and the terror of the Qin Dynasty. The film also includes the first documentary footage of Qin's life-sized terra cotta army, constructed almost 2,200 years ago for his tomb. Narrated by Christopher Plummer.
