Synopsis:
A 21st Century American
teenager takes a spellbinding, dangerous journey into martial arts
legend in the new action/adventure epic FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. Shot on
location in China, THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM marks the historic first-ever
onscreen pairing of martial arts superstars Jackie Chan (RUSH HOUR,
DRUNKEN MASTER) and Jet Li (FEARLESS, ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA), and
features the awe-inspiring action choreography of Wo Ping (THE MATRIX,
CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON). While hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVDs
in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason (played by Michael Angarano - “24”, “Will
and Grace,” LORDS OF DOGTOWN, SEABISCUIT) makes an extraordinary
discovery that sends him hurtling back in time to ancient China. There,
Jason is charged with a monumental task: he must free the fabled warrior
the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the evil Jade Warlord. Jason
is joined in his quest by wise kung fu master Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) and a
band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk (Jet Li). But only by
learning the true precepts of kung fu can Jason hope to succeed - and
find a way to get back home. |
