Prepare to be thrust into ancient China's turbid world of martial arts. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon begins several years before the blockbuster movie of the same name, and chronicles the events well beyond those in the film. New characters, weapons and detailed kung fu action sequences are what you can expect. The ubiquitous theft of the Green Destiny sword begins, plus Shu Lien and Li Mu Bai meet for the first time to test each other's kung fu ability.
