What is “Warrior” about?
“Warrior” is a television series that first aired on Cinemax in April 2019. It is a martial arts drama set in late 19th-century San Francisco’s Chinatown. The show is loosely based on the writings of Bruce Lee and is centered around a martial artist named Ah Sahm, who immigrates to San Francisco from China and becomes embroiled in the city’s Chinatown tong wars.
As Ah Sahm navigates the complexities of his new home, he finds himself caught in the middle of a power struggle between rival tongs and the corrupt city authorities. With his exceptional fighting skills, he rises up the ranks of the Hop Wei tong while also trying to uncover the truth behind his sister’s disappearance and the motivations behind the tong wars.
The show combines elements of action, drama, and historical fiction. It is notable for its depiction of the Chinese immigrant experience and the politics of race and power in late 19th-century America.Â
Warrior has been a highly successful series and one of the most-watched martial arts series of all time.
