Teenage martial art film enthusiast Jason Tripitkas (Angarano) has just purchased the lastest bootlegged kung-fu film at Old Hop's (Chan) pawn shop, when he is confronted by bullies who force him to help rob the old shopkeeper. Jason escapes the thugs with one of Old Hop's mysterious weapons, a golden staff, which inexplicably transports the American teenager back in time to ancient China. Once in China, Jason is aided by a drunken traveler, Lu Yan (Chan), who aids Jason on his quest to find "The Forbidden Kingdom" and return the golden staff to its righful owner, the immortal Monkey King (Li). (Stacey Pendry)
