佛教古剎三寶寺座落深山，本應遠離塵囂，卻因藏有三藏法師親撰的《大乘起信錄》殘卷，意外捲入江湖風波。當德高望重的智嚴師父即將涅槃，各懷鬼胎的財主、將軍先後率高手入寺，表面見證住持改選傳位，背地則意圖趁機盜書。在內神外鬼明來暗去的角力下，寶物、大位終將誰屬？武俠電影泰斗胡金銓遠赴韓國取景，打破善惡分明的敘事傳統，俐落操控各路勢力爾虞我詐、你爭我奪的洶湧暗濤。場面調度功力如臻化境，在詩意悠然的山水構圖間如畫卷般展開，充滿禪思的劇情發展更是令人折服，動靜之中盡顯大師風采。

Sanbao Temple, nestled deep in the mountains, holds a valuable manuscript written by Master Xuanzang. As the old abbot nears Nirvana, intrigue ensues. Wealthy patrons and generals gather, ostensibly to witness the selection of a new abbot, but with ulterior motives of stealing the manuscript. The story explores inner temple conflicts and external chaos. Departing from traditional storytelling, the film deftly manages factions, competition, and deception against picturesque landscapes.
