East meets West and kung-fu legends collide as Jackie Chan and Jet Li square off in the fists-a-flying, family-friendly Forbidden Kingdom! Based on the classical Chinese novel “Journey To The West”, Forbidden Kingdom co-stars Michael Angarano as Jason Tripitikas, an American teenager who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kung-fu classics who makes an extraordinary discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. With the lost relic in hand, the teenager unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to ancient China to join a crew of warriors from martial arts lore on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King.
