In the first of a planned trilogy on the Mongol leader's life, Genghis Khan (Asano) suffers imprisonment, the murder of his father and the loss of his bride before waging war against his traitorous one-time ally. Although this sounds somewhat dry on paper, this is less the Khan of the history books than a carefully humanised leader.
