The movie is set in China in 859 AD, during the Tang Dynasty. The local county army outpost is assigned to assassinate the leader of a rebel group called the "House of Flying Daggers" within ten days. Captain Leo (played by Andy Lau) plots with his co-captain Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) to infiltrate a local entertainment establishment, where they suspect Mei (Zhang Ziyi) is operating undercover as a member of the group. The rest of the film follows their attempts to follow Mei and find the headquarters of the House of Flying Daggers group.
