The story leaps forward to 1946, following Rick and Evelyn O’Connell into a semi-retired life that they quickly find boring. Their son, Alex, now grown and following in his father’s footsteps, discovers the tomb of the ruthless Dragon Emperor. This cursed monarch, played with chilling intensity by Jet Li, was petrified in terra cotta by a sorceress centuries ago. When the Emperor is accidentally resurrected, the O’Connells must reunite to prevent him from reaching the pools of eternal life and raising his vast, undead army to conquer the world.
