Imprisoned for five centuries beneath a mountain, the legendary Monkey King finds his spirit broken and his powers sealed away. His chance for redemption arrives in the form of a young boy named Liuer, who accidentally frees him. Voiced with gruff charm by Jackie Chan, the once-great hero is now a reluctant and cynical figure, wanting only his freedom. Yet, when a terrifying demon king threatens Liuer’s village and the innocent child who believes in him, the Monkey King must confront his own past failures and rediscover the courage to be a hero. This vibrant family adventure, directed by Tian Xiaopeng, blends thrilling action with heartfelt drama as it follows an iconic figure’s journey from forgotten outcast to protector, proving that even the greatest legends can find their strength through friendship and selflessness.
