The best swordsmen of China and Japan have made it a historical ritual to meet every 10 years for a showdown of fighting skills and powers. The leading fighter of the Japanese ninjas, Hashimoto (Tsui Siu-keung), and the Chinese chief Ching Wan (Damian Lau) have come to respect each other after years of competition - but tradition demands that they lock swords again. Their honor is put to the test when rogue ninjas barge into Shaolin Temple to steal a secret kung fu manuscript and unleashes a war.Directed by Tony Ching Siu-tung (Hero, City Hunter), master of the swashbuckling swordfights, Duel To The Death is the stuff that classic swordfight epics are made of. Besides a plot that keeps you tethered to the edge, Duel To The Death contains some of the most spectacular Ninja vs. Swordsman action of all time as well as some of the most gravity-defying wire stunts to be seen on screen.
