Abstract:

"Originally presented in IMAX® theaters! He gave China its name and founded the longest-enduring nation state in the history of the world; he was Qin Shihuang, the First Emperor. Journey to an era which few Westerners are aware of, as a powerful dynasty first gains a foothold in China. From the inner sanctum of Qin’s palace, to fierce battles with feudal kings, experience the glory and terror of his rule. You’ll also see the first footage of Qin’s life-sized terra cotta army, constructed almost 2,200 years ago for his tomb." Narrated by Christophr Plummer
