Tai-Pan

Filmed on location in the People’s Republic of China, this epic adventure relates the founding of Hong Kong and tells of the merchant chiefs who traded the South China Sea, risking their lives to create magnificent dynasties. It’s 1841, and traders Dirk Struan (Bryan Brown) and Tyler Brock (John Stanton) both dream of making Hong Kong the “crown jewel” of Britain’s foreign colonies. Joan Chen, Tim Guinee and Kyra Sedgwick also star.
