東方三俠: 東東（梅艷芳 飾）與心靖（楊紫瓊 飾）年幼時得到武林高手的收養，傳授她們武功望她們能長大後行俠仗義。 同是孤兒的兩人情同姊妹。 不料心靖在12歲時被抓走，從此失去音信。 東東長大後下嫁了警官劉啟文（劉松仁 飾），生下女兒後當上了賢妻良母。 多年來她一直向家人隱瞞自己的身份，但夫妻之間卻因為這樣變得疏遠。 當年心靖被清朝宦官陳公公抓走，用毒液洗去了她記憶後利用她的好身手乾著壞事。 陳七（張曼玉 飾）也是公公的手下，生性不羈，她中毒並不深，記憶不久便恢復了。 她跟東東一般富有正義感但視錢如命。 三人在一次偷取嬰兒的爭鬥中相遇了，但心中的正義感令她們本來對立的角色演變成一直的方向，對付危害大眾生命的女勇士; 現代豪俠傳: 結婚生子後的冬冬（梅艷芳 飾）過著相夫教子的日子，但世界並不太平。 經歷過核爆後，世界面臨水荒，但卻有一家神秘的淨水公司控制著純淨水並從中謀取暴利，甚至遏制了整個社會的命脈。 此時，一位名叫長空（金城武 飾）的人被推到台前，成為背後勢力反政府的領袖。 然而，不久長空被殺，殺手將此罪責嫁禍給冬冬的老公（劉松仁 飾），他也是當時的公安局長。 局長因此被殺，冬冬也被逮捕，軍長趁機發動了政變。 陳三（楊紫瓊 飾）救出總統，同時陳七（張曼玉 飾）受冬冬之託帶著冬冬的女兒去尋找乾淨的水源，冬冬也終於重拾信念做回女飛俠。 這突如其來的災難背後有著怎樣的陰謀？ 三位女飛俠能否再次給這黑暗世界到來一絲曙光？ |
