That version of The Last Emperor included an additional 60 minutes of footage. The film tells the tale of Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi, the last ruler of the Ching Dynasty who was installed as emperor at age three. The movie traces Pu Yi's (played as an adult by John Lone) life through the political upheavals of his country, his exile and incarceration by the Russians, and finally, his return to China. The movie won nine Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Director. (Gary Reber)
