Keluarga Yang semasa Dinasti Song merupakan klan militer kerajaan Cina terbesar. Seluruh satria setia kepada Kaisar. Istri Kaisar yang penuh kasih telah memberinya tujuh putra yang sangat mencintai ibunya. Ketika para satria jatuh ke tangan penjahat dan dijebak oleh orang-orang biadab dari Utara, enam putra Kaisar berhasil melarikan diri. Bagaimana nasib satu putra Kaisar?

Based on a Chinese legend from the Song dynasty about seven brothers who fought Khitan invaders to rescue their father, “Saving General Yang” reps a curious cross between brawny machismo and sexy eye-candy. Veteran Hong Kong helmer Ronny Yu (“Fearless,” “The Bride With White Hair”) delivers reliably robust action but shows little concern for emotional finesse. Nevertheless, the shrewd casting of pan-Chinese pop idols alongside veteran actors lends a hip spin to an old-fashioned tale of chivalry. Pic did middling biz in China, which is showing signs of war-epic fatigue, but sales to Europe and Asia have reportedly been satisfactory.
