A high-spirited adventure romp that blends action, comedy, and fantasy across time and exotic locales, driven by discovery and playful energy rather than introspection.

When a fellow scientist asks for Jack's help in locating the mausoleum of China's first emperor, the past collides violently with the present as Jack discovers his amazing visions are based in fact.
