Magnificent Warriors

1h 32m

Starring Michelle Yeoh, Richard Ng, Derek Yee Tung-Sing

This INDIANA JONES–esque period adventure casts Michelle Yeoh as a World War II–era aviator and secret agent who comes to the rescue of a small Chinese town resisting the Japanese invasion. Reuniting Yeoh with ROYAL WARRIORS director David Chung, MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS crackles with rousing set pieces that showcase Yeoh’s gracefully explosive martial-arts style—as well as her considerable prowess with a whip.
