A 21st Century American teenager takes a spellbinding, dangerous journey into martial arts legend in the new action/adventure epic The Forbidden Kingdom.

While hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVD's in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason 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 and a band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk. But only by learning the true precepts of kung-fu can Jason hope to succeed - and find a way to get back home.
