The film is set in early 11th century
China during the reign of Emperor
Renzong of the Song Dynasty. The

borders of the Song Dynasty. The Song
Dynasty is being invaded by the armies
of the rival state of Western Xia.
Yang Zongbao is the last man standing
in the Yang clan, a family of generals
who have dedicated their lives to
defending the Song Dynasty from
foreign invaders. He apparently dies
in battle tragically when the
treacherous Imperial Tutor Pang
refuses to send reinforcements to aid
him. Yang Zongbao’s widowed wife Mu
Guiying leads the other widows of the
Yang clan into battle to continue the
legacy of their husbands.
