Considerations when choosing

For an epic, action-packed story focused on a major battle, Red Cliff is a great choice.

For a more character-focused story centered on a different hero within the same universe, consider Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon or The Lost Bladesman.

For the most complete and detailed story, a TV series like The Romance of Three Kingdoms (1995) or Three Kingdoms (2010) is recommended.
