Set in the war period in China between 476 BC – 221 BC, Little Big Soldier tells the story of a soldier (Jackie Chan) and a general (Wang Leehom) from opposing states (Liang and Wei), who have very much opposing views on the war and world.
Jackie Chan - in one of his finest performances - plays the soldier from Liang, who survives the war which had left most men killed, by playing dead until the war was over. Lee Hom Wang, who plays the general from Wei, survives the war, but would rather be dead after the bloodshed.
A painful yet comical journey commences when the soldier decides to abduct the downtrodden general and bring him back to his state in the high hopes of collecting a reward. Taking the general home was not as easy as expected, however, as the general attempts suicide many a time, but the soldier insists on saving him for his huge reward - even if that means endangering his own life.
