In House of Flying Daggers, the corrupt government of the Tang Dynasty is struggling to maintain control over the land they rule. They are engaged in a fierce war with a rebel group called the Flying Daggers, who are fighting to overthrow the Tang and restore order to the realm.

To help her escape and reunite with her fellow rebels, a handsome warrior named Jin (played by Takeshi Kaneshiro) stages a daring prison break. Together, they set out on a dangerous journey through the mountains, pursued by agents of the government who are determined to capture Mei and bring down the Flying Daggers once and for all.
