Red Cliff

Based On the book by Luo Guanzhong

Red Cliff or Chibi (Chinese: 赤壁; pinyin: Chì bì) is a 2008–09 internationally co-produced epic war film produced and directed by John Woo. Based on the Battle of Red Cliffs (208–209 AD) and the events at the end of the Han dynasty and immediately prior to the Three Kingdoms period in Imperial China, it was Woo's first major film since 2003's Paycheck and his first Chinese-language feature film since 1992's Hard Boiled. The film stars Tony Leung Chiu-wai, with a supporting cast of Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Zhao Wei, Hu Jun, and Lin Chi-ling. In China and much of Asia, Red Cliff was released in two parts, totaling nearly five hours in length (288 minutes).
