Winner of four Academy Awards, Ang Lee's martial arts masterpiece remains the highest-grossing film at the Coolidge in the 21st century.

Two master warriors (Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh) are faced with their greatest challenge when the treasured Green Destiny sword is stolen. A young aristocrat (Zhang Ziyi) prepares for an arranged marriage, but soon reveals her superior fighting talents and her deeply romantic past. As each warrior battles for justice, they come face to face with their worst enemy - and the inescapable, enduring power of love.

Set against 19th-century China's breathtaking landscape, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the action-packed, box office smash from acclaimed director Ang Lee (Life of Pi, Brokeback Mountain) featuring stunning martial arts choreography by Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix).
