...All hell breaks loose when a cold-blooded warlord arrives in a small village in the period action thriller Call of Heroes starring Sean Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo, Eddie Peng & Wu Jing. Set in the early 20th century when China was rife with turmoil & civil warfare, the action-packed blockbuster follows the deadly events that unfold when a militia captain tries to bring a murderous warlord to justice. Directed by Benny Chan ( The White Storm), Call of Heroes builds on the vicious tension with blistering action choreographed by Sammo Hung.
Whip-wielding militia captain Yang (Sean Lau) has guarded his remote hometown of Pucheng for years, & he alone now stands between the village & the ruthless troops of warlord Cao Ying who has been wreaking death & destruction in the region. One morning, Caos son Cao Shaolun (Louis Koo) saunters into Pucheng & kills a few villagers. Yang captures Shaolun with plans to execute him after trial, but Zhang (Wu Jing), a colonel in Caos army, soon storms into Pucheng to retrieve the prisoner. Meanwhile, wandering martial artist Ma (Eddie Peng), an old friend of Zhang, also happens to pass by Pucheng & rides right into the volatile conflict. As the situation escalates, Yang is given a deadline to either voluntarily release Shaolun or risk the lives of the entire village.
