“Everyone should have a chance to be King. Now, it’s my turn. ”
Based on the famous 16th-century epic novel by Wu Cheng’en, this is an action-packed tale of the roguish Monkey King and his exploits in a Journey To Nowhere.
Ingenious, witty, violent and impatient, Monkey has been imprisoned because of the chaos he has wrought in heaven. To be redeemed, he must guide the Buddhist monk Tripitaka on a mystical quest. Together with lovesick Pigsy, they encounter demons, spirits, dragons and gods on what seems to be a never-ending journey to the west.
