Short description
In 500 B.C., during Chinas famed 'Spring and Autumn Period', Kong Ze (Confucius), a commoner reverred for his outstanding wisdom, is made Minister of Law in the ancient Kingdom of Lu. Under his inspired leadership, Lu ascends to new heights but becomes a target of conquest for the warlike nation of Qi. Threatened with annihilation by their powerful neighbour, a desperate people turn to their greatest teacher to lead their most powerful army. When Confucius delivers a stunning victory against all odds, a jealous aristocracy sets out to destroy him, but they should never under-estimate a remarkable man whose wisdom is more powerful than the sword.
What's left behind the scenes
- In December 2009, a direct descendant of Confucius filed a lawsuit against the filmmakers. After seeing the trailer, Kong Jian sought to have several scenes removed from the movie and objected to the film's hint of a romantic conversation between Nanzi and Confucius.
