The Legend of Zu (also known as Zu Warriors in the United States) is a 2001 Hong Kong Wuxia-fantasy film produced and directed by Tsui Hark. The film starred Ekin Cheng, Louis Koo, Cecilia Cheung, Patrick Tam, Zhang Ziyi and Sammo Hung. It is based on the same source as the 1983 film Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain.
The film is set in mythical mountain range called "Zu", which exists between Heaven and Earth. The mountains are populated by immortals from Omei, who are in charge of keeping peace and eradicating evil. A demon called Insomnia desires to rule Zu and the world below, and starts annihilating several sects before arriving at Omei.
King Sky is in love with his teacher, Dawn, and she has just left him after disintegrating into dust. Before her departure, she gives him her weapon, the Moon Orb, and tells him that the Orb will lead him to her eventually. King Sky joins Omei in their fight against Insomnia. The Omei manage to corner Insomnia using their weapon, the Sky Reflector, but the demon retreats into the legendary Blood Cave after its defeat. The cave is capable of sucking away the powers of those who venture near it and has been highly sought by many masters.
