During the reign of the Tang dynasty in China, a secret organization called "The House of the Flying Daggers" rises and opposes the government. Leo is a police officer who sends officer Jin to investigate a young dancer named Mei, claiming that she has ties to the "Flying Daggers" organization. Leo ends up arresting Mei, only to have Jin break her free in a plot to gain her trust and lead the police to the new leader of the secret organization. But things are far more complicated than they seem.

Gorgeous submitted by crazypockets on July 26, 2013, 3:19pm It's no wonder this movie was nominated for best cinematography. While the romance element of this is a little cheesy, it's worth watching for the beautiful scenery, sets, and costumes. The action is fun and well-choreographed, too. I love how most of it takes place outside and really showcases the versatility and beauty of the Chinese countryside in different seasons.
