East meets west as kung-fu legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li face off in this family friendly adventure.

Teenage kung-fu film enthusiast Jason (Michael Angarano) buys bootleg DVDs from shopkeeper, Old Hop (Chan) and he finds himself drawn to an ancient golden staff. When a local bully forces Jason to help rob Old Hop, Jason escapes with the staff and is magically transported to ancient China. He is rescued from the forces of the Jade Warlord by Lu Yan (Chan), a wanderer whose wine-guzzling ways conceal his kung-fu mastery.

Yan reveals the truth of the staff, and that Jason is the fabled Seeker who must return it to the Monkey King (Li) to prevent the warlord's evil plans.

The two are joined in their quest by a kung-fu master, Silent Monk (Li), and a beautiful orphan (Liu Yifei) who harbours her own personal vendetta.

Despite their differences, the two masters teach Jason the ways of the kung-fu warrior. And when Lu Yan is wounded by the warlord's sexy assassin, Jason must bring his newfound skills and courage to bear if he is to save one world and return to his own.

It is choreographed by action impresario Woo-ping Yuen (The Matrix, Kill Bill).
