Summary
This historical epic is set in China in 1900, and focuses on the infamous Boxer Rebellion. During these riots, a group of Chinese, opposed to the presence of foreigners on their soil, attacked the embassies of countries they felt had exploited China by swallowing up and controlling its commercial markets. For 55 days, a few hundred officials from western countries struggled against an onslaught of over 130,000 Chinese warriors.
