Award-winning martial arts director Stanley Tong (Rumble in the Bronx, Supercop) joins forces with director Anthony Szeto to deliver this computer animated martial arts adventure for the entire family. A fantastical version of the Chinese ancient Middle Kingdom, Dragonblade: The Beginning traces the adventures of an adolescent martial arts enthusiast named Lang. Lang dreams of one day coming into possession of the legendary Dragon Blade sword, a mythical weapon of supreme power that can only be wielded by one who is noble in spirit and pure at heart. When a powerful monster appears to threaten the people of Lang's village, however, the heroic teen realizes his only hope of saving the day is to track down the Dragon Blade - and fast. Perhaps with a little help from a plucky fairy bird named Bali-Ba, Lang will finally be able to realize his dream of tracking down the elusive sword and unleashing his inner hero. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
