At a Glance

Based on a comic book series, this is the story of a monk who has looked after a mysterious scroll for sixty years and kept it out of the wrong hands. It is now time for him to pass the scroll on for someone else to look after and the fates have decided on a petty criminal from San Francisco...

Detailed Information

He has no name. He protects a powerful secret.

Now, to fulfil an ancient prophecy, he has found the one who's supposed to take his place - and it's the most unlikely candidate of all.

In this non-stop action adventure, the Monk (Chow Yun-Fat - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) is a Zen-calm martial arts master whose duty has been to protect a powerful ancient scroll that holds the key to unlimited power.

Now, faced with finding the scroll's next guardian, the Monk's quest brings him to America. It seems according to an ancient prophecy and to his disbelief - the Monk's successor is a charming, street-tough wild card named Kar (Seann William Scott - American Pie, Road Trip).

As the Monk instructs Kar in the ways of a protector, the unlikely duo become partners in shielding the scroll from the evil power-hungry armies who try to steal it. Amidst high-flying acrobatics, martial arts action and quick-witted humor, this comic odd couple have to work together to keep the scroll safe.
