China's first master detective is looking for answers to some burning
questions in this blend of historical drama and mystery from acclaimed
director Tsui Hark. Di Renjie (Andy Lau), nicknamed Detective Dee, is a
law officer of the Tang Dynasty who is legendary for his powers of
deductive reasoning. Di Renjie finds himself on the wrong side of prison
bars when he dares to publicly criticise Wu Zetian (Carina Lau), who
has become China's first female emperor. While Wu Zetian doesn't care
for Di Renjie's opinions, she can't dispute his skills as a detective,
and after eight years in jail she has him released so he can get to the
bottom of a mystery. Two members of Wu Zetian's court have died under
bizarre circumstances -- after stepping outside, they suddenly exploded
into flames. Are the gods angry with Wu Zetian and her underlings, or is
a clever saboteur at work?
