action actor actress character desert express female master male martial arts play a part unusual

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a martial arts film. The main male parts/characters in the movie are played by Chow Yun-Fat and Zhang Zhen, and the two main male roles are played by Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi. Since it is a martial arts movie, some of the main characters must be masters of martial arts with unusual abilities. I can also see a desert in the poster, which means the desert is part of the setting of the story. As is also shown in the poster, the film came out in 2000.
