The Legend of the Condor Heroes (1983)

Deals with a lot of issues but mostly concerned with the adventure of Kwok Jing and Wong Yung, the two people who ended up creating the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre which would become the major issue in "Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre". Kwok Jing, is an honest, loyal, and brave man even if he is a slow learner and not very clever. He is often manipulated by many people, especially by his Godbrother, Yeung Hong . On the other hand, Kwok Jing's travelling companion, Wong Yung, is a beautiful and clever girl who can easily tell if a person is out to take advantage of Kwok Jing's kindness. Wong Yung, however, has her own personality flaws. She was at first a spoiled, selfish, and rude person, concerned only for herself and those that she cares for (ie. Kwok Jing). However, as she spends more time travelling with Kwok Jing, she starts to slowly becoming a better person and in the end decided to help Kwok Jing in his mission to defend the Han Dynasty from the invasion of the Mongolia.

南宋年间，全真教道士丘处机与江南七怪武功不相上下，两方决定各培养一个徒弟，日后比武来决定双方武功高低。丘处机的徒弟是金国小王子杨康（苗侨伟 饰），江南七怪的徒弟则是自小随母亲在蒙古生活的郭靖（黄日华 饰）。从蒙古来到中原的郭靖，邂逅了“东邪”黄药师（曾江 饰）的女儿黄蓉（翁美玲 饰）。后又遇见义弟杨康，卷入了杨康一家的纠纷中还有杨康与穆念慈（杨盼盼 饰演）的感情纠葛。在郭靖和黄蓉两人的各种冒险中，两人又结识了“北丐”洪七公（刘丹 饰）、“西毒”欧阳锋（杨泽霖 饰）、“南帝”一灯大师（刘兆铭 饰）、“老顽童”周伯通（秦煌 饰）等武林奇人，经历了丐帮、铁掌帮、争夺武穆遗书等种种事件，两人的爱情也遭遇了许多考验。后郭靖又接到成吉思汗命令，令其率兵攻打南宋。郭靖终逃离蒙古，和冰释前嫌的黄蓉共同保卫襄阳。

雪之夜，南宋軍官段天德在大金國趙王完顏洪烈的授意下，率兵洗劫了都城臨安郊外的牛家村，從山東逃難來此的郭嘯天（朱鐵和飾）、楊鐵心（謝賢飾）兩家慘遭橫禍，家破人亡，已懷有身孕的郭、楊兩位夫人，一個逃往蒙古大漠，一個被劫持到金都王府，從此天各一方。全真教道士丘處機（夏雨飾）與江南七怪約定，分頭尋找並教導兩家的後人郭靖、楊康，十八年後在嘉興醉仙樓一決高下。由此江南七怪萬里追蹤，深入大漠，6年之後，終於找到了寄居草原的郭靖母子，並悉心教導天資愚笨的郭靖。 18年後，郭靖（黃日華飾）奉師命南下。目睹了大難不死的楊鐵心一家劫後重逢，然而楊康（苗僑偉飾）卻拒不認父，楊鐵心與妻子勉強逃出王府，最終仍被迫雙雙喋血街頭。遭遇人生鉅變的楊康，雖也曾心神激盪，左右搖擺，但在患得患失之餘，仍貪戀富貴，終於認賊作父，靖、康兄弟不得不分道揚鑣。其後，楊康不斷玩弄機巧，傷人害命，但楊鐵心的養女穆念慈（楊盼盼飾）仍一心痴戀於他，苦苦追隨，直到楊康受到匪夷所思的命運惡報，慘死在嘉興鐵槍廟中。 郭靖與黃蓉（翁美玲飾）在張家口一見如故，在中都再見傾心。但成吉思汗之女華箏許婚在先，丘處機為穆念慈保媒於後，郭靖在道德與情感的矛盾中難以抉擇。而歐陽克對黃蓉不死不休的糾纏，又給郭靖、黃蓉帶來了無窮無盡的煩惱。進而七怪排斥東邪之女，黃藥師（曾江飾）卻又看不上愚笨的郭靖，兩人之間咫尺天涯。五位師父被害於桃花島，逼郭靖與黃蓉反目。華箏出現於撒麻爾罕，又讓黃蓉心灰，這一對兩情相悦的青年，經歷了三番五次的離合悲歡和七曲八折的坎坷磨難，才終於天遂人願。 郭靖隨黃蓉故國萬里之行，臨山川湖海，親中原風物，受文化薰陶，進而遍識天下武林高人；拜北丐（劉慶基飾）為師，與老頑童（秦煌飾）結義，聽東邪銷魂蝕骨的簫聲，見南帝（劉兆銘飾）救死扶傷的功夫，又無數次與西毒（楊澤霖飾）拼死搏擊，使得郭靖的武功、心志、人品不斷與時俱進。進而，報殺父深仇，消師門積怨，奪《武穆遺書》，率大軍西征；承亡母之教，上華山論劍，救襄陽國難，質詢成吉思汗（秦沛飾）何謂英雄。這位純樸憨厚、木訥愚鈍的射鵰英雄，終於成了一個為國為民、悲天憫人的俠之大者。
