The Warlords

It's a heroic tale of three blood brothers and their struggle in the midst of war and political upheaval. It is based on "The Assassination of Ma," a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) story about the killing of general Ma Xinyi. The story was filmed by Zhang Che in 1973 as The Blood Brothers.

"The Warlords," set in wartime 19th century China and with an all-star cast, was the big winner at Sunday's glittering ceremony with eight awards including best film and best director for Peter Chan. The film tells the story of three sworn brothers who are forced to turn against each other during the Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty.
