The plot is a bit bad, the war scenes and special effects are good

It is a movie that revolves entirely around Jackie Chan. The title of the movie is "The Lion Falls from the Sky", plus the filming footage released last year.

Halfway through, all those who deserve to die are dead. Huo An's teacher's wife has no role to play, so she died, and Lu Kuis and Mengmeng's little prince also died tragically, so only Huo An led the remaining subordinates to fight against the eldest prince.

But so far there is no archaeological and other historical evidence.
In addition, from Rome to the Western Regions across the Eurasian continent, not to mention how the army of the prince in the film solves the problem of continuous warfare and logistics along the way, it is completely impossible to say that such an army came over without attracting the attention of the Han Dynasty. There is also the military fortress Yanmenguan (it is estimated that the error in the film should be Yumenguan), in addition to slavery, there are only a small number of garrisoned troops...
