A top-secret information is circulated that a man is coming to Hong Kong at the end of the Qing Dynasty. His name is Sun Yat-sen. He is a revolutionary who is determined to overthrow the corrupt dynasty, and his purpose is to hold secret talks with his comrades for an armed uprising. A group of righteous soldiers is formed to escort Sun Yat-sen against a 500-member assassination squad sent by Empress Dowager Xi. The members of the group include a policeman working as a spy for the assassination squad, a wheelwright who has sworn to marry the love of his life, a former sergeant who has become a beggar due to his past sins, a young girl who has vowed to avenge her father, and other ordinary citizens. Some for their loved ones, some for their beliefs, each with their passionate feelings in their hearts, they challenge the "epic one-hour" battle in which the hopes of one billion people and the future of their country are at stake.
