During the Northern Song Dynasty, China was often invaded by its powerful neighbor Western Xia. For generations, the loyal warriors of the Yang family dedicated their lives to defending Song's borders. But as the treacherous Prime Minister (Wu Ma) was withholding reinforcements, most male members of the clan had been killed on the battlefield, leaving General Yang Zongbao (Richie Jen) and his vastly outnumbered squad to guard the crucial Heaven Gate Pass. When words come back from the front line declaring the fall of Zongbao, the corrupt imperial court orders Zongbao's young son Wenguang (Xiao Mingyu) to lead the campaign against the ten-times-stronger Western Xia forces. To help Wenguang and protect him on his dangerous mission, the 12 grieving widows of the Yang clan - led by Mu Guiying (Cecilia Cheung), Princess Chai (Liu Xiaoqing), and She Taijun (Cheng Pei Pei) - are determined to arm themselves up and enter the deadly final battle...
