Huo An serves as a commander of the Protection Squad of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. They are tasked by the emperor to maintain stability between the warring 36 nations within the Silk Road region.

Inspired by a true historical story involving trade and robbery on the Silk Road during the Han dynasty, Daniel Lee’s Dragon Blade features typically incredible stunts from Jackie Chan as well as an impressive ensemble cast of names like Adrien Brody, John Cusack, and Korean singer Choi Siwon.
