Dragon Inn background

Dragon Inn

In 15th century China, a group of skilled martial arts swordsmen come to the aid of the children of a executed general, who are being hunted down by ruthless pursuers.

In a dark turn of events, the Emperor's Eunuch sentences a commander to death for treason, and his family is brutally murdered. However, his two youngest children, a son and daughter, are banished to the outlands to eliminate any potential threat. The Eunuch's secret Black Arrow Troop is sent to assassinate the children and their advisor at the Inn of Dragon's Gate, but their plan is foiled by a group of skilled swordsmen. The film that follows is a thrilling martial arts spectacle, reminiscent of "The Swordsman" and "Zatoichi" series, and is a must-see for fans of classic Asian cinema.
