Synopsis House of Flying Daggers (aka Shi Mian Mai Fu, aka Lovers) is set in the year 859 AD as China's once flourishing Tang Dynasty is in decline. Unrest rages throughout the land, and the corrupt government is locked in battle with rebel armies that are forming in protest. The largest and most prestigious of these is the "House of Flying Daggers," which is growing ever more powerful under a mysterious new leader. Two local captains, Leo (Andy Lau) and Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) are ordered to capture this new leader. As part of their elaborate plan, Captain Jin will pretend to be a lone warrior called Wind and will rescue the beautiful, blind revolutionary Mei (Zhang Ziyi) from prison, earning her trust, and escort her to the secret headquarters of the House of Flying Daggers. This is the plan. What does happen leads both on a journey of love, tension, conflict, plots and revelations, leaving each forever changed.
