Movie Description
When master warrior Kwun (Jet Li) returns to his village to find that his young son Ting is the sole survivor of vicious massacre by Manchu soldiers, he hits the vengeance trail, training the young boy in the martial arts along the way. For seven years, father and son are on the run. They encounter five Shaolin monks upon whom fragments of a treasure map have been tattooed. Before long, wicked Manchu leaders find out about the maps and set out in search of the masters. Kwun and Ting unite with the monks and brace themselves for the battle of their lives against the forces that destroyed their village. The breathtaking and often comical martial arts sequences were choreographed by Corey Yuen (THE ONE, ROMEO MUST DIE).
Synopsis
His name is invoked with reverence: Shaolin.

Even with his fierceness, Shaolin and his compatriots' aims will not be easily reached.
