The Forbidden Kingdom
The story unfolds when 17-year-old Jason discovers a gold staff, or Jingu Bang (a weapon used by the Monkey King in the original novel Journey to the West), in south Boston and somehow travels in time and finds himself in a village in ancient China that is attacked by armored forces. Jason meets two kung fu masters (played by Jackie Chan and Jet Li) and starts to train under them. They embark on a journey to free the Monkey King and restore peace in their village.
