Plot summary
In 450 A.D., the Rouran tribes threaten the Wei Dynasty, and a nationwide draft is called. Hua Hu, a retired soldier, insists on enlisting again. His daughter Mulan is clever and trained in martial arts, but women cannot enlist. She slips away with his armor and weapon, passes herself off as a man, and enlists in his name. The harsh training tests her, and she proves courageous and quick-thinking, standing up for other recruits against the bullies. Her conduct draws the attention of Wentai, the battalion's sub-commander, and the two become friends with a growing fondness for each other, while Mulan keeps her identity hidden.
