Synopsis
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) is a fantasy action-adventure directed by Rob Minkoff that you can watch online on iFILM. Jason (Michael Angarano), a Boston teenager obsessed with martial-arts films, picks up an ancient staff in a Chinatown pawnshop — and wakes up somewhere in ancient China with no idea how to get back.
His only allies: a drunken kung-fu master named Lu Yan played by Jackie Chan, and a silent monk played by Jet Li. It was the first time the two stars shared a screen together — forty-plus years of combined film careers, and they had never worked in the same production until this one. They also fight each other. The quest sends all three after the Jade Warlord, who has imprisoned the Monkey King, with Golden Sparrow (Liu Yifei) and the White-Haired Witch (Li Bingbing) complicating matters along the way.
A US-China co-production by Lionsgate and Huayi Brothers, the film earned $128 million worldwide against a $55 million budget. Built for fans who grew up on classic Hong Kong cinema. Stream The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) online on iFILM.
