Together with the scenes such as an intense battle in which 5,000 Mongolian Army soldiers appear, and over 27,000 people mounted as extras to film this entertainment epic, the hero now emerges from the history that has concealed him for so long.”

The story itself starts off with the future mother of Genghis Khan named Hoelan being taken from her tribe by Genghis Khan’s future father Yesugei. Shortly afterwards Genghis Khan is born and the movie then fast forwards in time to when Genghis Khan is fourteen years old. Two people that would play an important part in Genghis Khan’s adult life are introduced here : Bolte (his future wife) and Jamuqa (his lifelong “devoted” friend). The movie then jumps seven more years – to when Genghis starts his career as a global conqueror.
