I have very fond memories of the #film called HERO, with Jet Li... I think it was produced by Quentin Tarantino, or something like that. I need to watch it again to make sure hindsight isn't tricking me, but I did love it at the time. And another movie I can vet within the "sword and sandal" category is THE LAST SAMURAI, which stars Tom Cruise (a US war hero) and is set in the late nineteenth century.

Great niche genre prompt! ⚔️
