Speaker A
These rings were powerful ancient weapons that granted him god-like strength and immortality.
Speaker A
However, instead of using their power wisely, he became obsessed with gaining even more control and dominance.
Speaker A
Driven by his hunger for power, he formed an army known as the Ten Rings and spent centuries conquering kingdoms and overthrowing governments across history.
Speaker A
For thousands of years, he chased power and wealth without pause.
Speaker A
One day he learned of a new source of immense strength, the mysterious village of Talo.
Speaker A
It was believed that this invisible village was hidden deep within enchanted forests.
Speaker A
The people there still practiced the ancient combat techniques of the gods, and mythical creatures were said to roam the land.
Speaker A
Determined to claim this power, he set out with his men to find the village. The forest, however, was enchanted and deceptive.
Speaker A
During the journey, their vehicle fell into a deep ravine, while the others were helpless, he survived using the power of the rings.
Speaker A
Refusing to give up, he continued his search until he encountered Ying Lee, the guardian of Talo.
Speaker A
He demanded directions to the village, but she refused, telling him that there was no place for someone like him there.
Speaker A
This confrontation quickly turned into a fight, using the mystical powers of Talo, she defeated him with ease.
Speaker A
Despite being enemies, something unexpected happened, they fell in love.
Speaker A
Eventually, they married and had two children, Shang Chi and Jiling.
Speaker A
For the first time, he had a real family.
Speaker A
He abandoned his violent ways and locked the rings away in a box, choosing a peaceful life instead.
Speaker A
One day Shang Chi asked his mother how she managed to defeat someone so powerful.
Speaker A
She explained that the people of Talo were blessed by the great protector dragon, whose magic granted them extraordinary abilities.
Speaker A
Anyone who earned the dragon's favor could accomplish incredible feats.
Speaker A
She then gave her son a pendant, telling him that whenever he felt lost, it would guide him back home and that he should always keep it with him.
Speaker A
For a while, the family lived happily, but one day while he was away, members of the Iron Gang attacked their home.
Speaker A
Years earlier, he had tried to wipe them out.
Speaker A
And now they had come for revenge.
Speaker A
She quickly sent her children inside and stepped forward to face them alone.
Speaker A
By that time, she no longer had her powers, having given them up when she chose to live a normal life.
Speaker A
Without her abilities, she was unable to defend herself and was killed.
Speaker A
When he returned home and saw her lifeless body, he was completely shattered.
Speaker A
Consumed by grief and rage, he put the rings back on and unleashed a brutal campaign of vengeance.
Speaker A
He then began training Shang Chi in martial arts from a very young age, turning him into a skilled fighter with in just a few years.
Speaker A
When the boy turned 14, his father sent him on a mission to assassinate the leader of the Iron Gang.
Speaker A
He told him that the man responsible for his mother's death had been found and that it was both his duty and his right to kill him.
Speaker A
He promised that once the mission was complete and his son returned, the Ten Rings would rise again and the world would bow before them.
Speaker A
After completing the mission, however, Shang Chi ran away to San Francisco.
Speaker A
Deep down, he knew what he had done was wrong.
Speaker A
He changed his name to Sean and tried to leave his past behind.
Speaker A
The story then shifts to the present day.
Speaker A
He wakes up early and heads to Katie's place.
Speaker A
The two have been close friends for 10 years and now work together as valet drivers.
Speaker A
One day while they are riding a bus to work, members of the Ten Rings suddenly attack them.
Speaker A
They were sent to take the pendant Shang Chi was wearing around his neck.
Speaker A
He refused to give it up because it was the last memory he had of his mother.
Speaker A
As a result, he is attacked and ends up killing all of them.
Speaker A
Just then, Razor Fist attacks him.
Speaker A
He is the most dangerous warrior of the Ten Rings and his blade can cut through anything.
Speaker A
Shang Chi keeps dodging his strikes, but Razor Fist's weapon damages the bus, causing the brakes to fail.
Speaker A
The bus goes completely out of control and the driver's knocked unconscious.
Speaker A
Katie takes over the wheel while Shang Chi continues fighting Razor Fist.
Speaker A
During the fight, the blade slices the bus into two parts.
Speaker A
Seeing this, he helps all the passengers move to the front section.
Speaker A
He then pushes Razor Fist toward the back of the bus, causing that section to detach and crash.
Speaker A
However, Razor Fist still manages to take the pendant.
Speaker A
Later, when he returns home, he prepares to travel to Macau.
Speaker A
He knows his mother gave the same pendant to his sister and the Ten Rings will come after her next.
Speaker A
Katie asks what's really going on and who he actually is.
Speaker A
He tells her the men who attacked them were sent by his father and now his sister's in danger.
Speaker A
He says he has no choice but to go after her.
Speaker A
Katie insists on coming with him.
Speaker A
They fly to Macau, and during the trip, he tells her his past, but lies about one thing, claiming he never completed his mission.
Speaker A
Once they arrived, they head to an underground fight club.
Speaker A
The postcard his sister sent had that address on it.
Speaker A
They take an elevator to the upper level, but he is tricked into signing a contract.
Speaker A
A video of the bus fight has gone viral and the organization runs illegal live stream fights on the dark web where people place bets.
Speaker A
When he enters the arena, he's shocked to discover that his opponent is his own sister.
Speaker A
She is furious with him.
Speaker A
Before leaving on his mission, he promised he'd return in three days, but he never came back.
Speaker A
Fueled by anger, she beats him badly and he loses the fight.
Speaker A
After the match, she confronts him and asks what he wants.
Speaker A
He explains that the Ten Rings attacked him in San Francisco and stole his pendant.
Speaker A
Now they're coming for her because she has the same one.
Speaker A
He believes their father is planning something terrible using them.
Speaker A
She tells him that when he left, she needed him, but he never returned.
Speaker A
That's when she realized she didn't need him at all.
Speaker A
She built her own life on her own terms.
Speaker A
She says she never needed him before and she doesn't need him now.
Speaker A
He asks why she sent him the postcard.
Speaker A
She replies that she never sent it.
Speaker A
That's when he realizes his father set him up.
Speaker A
Suddenly, the Ten Rings soldiers storm in and attack.
Speaker A
She escapes with her crew, leaving him and Katie behind.
Speaker A
To get out, he smashes through the glass wall of the building and tells Katie to jump with him.
Speaker A
She hesitates, terrified because she has to walk across narrow bamboo pole.
Speaker A
He reassures her, telling her that once they make it down, they can escape from there.
Speaker A
Katie finally agrees and the two of them start heading toward the elevator.
Speaker A
Just then, members of the Ten Rings army spot them.
Speaker A
Shang tells Katie to go ahead while he stays back to hold them off.
Speaker A
He starts fighting the soldiers alone.
Speaker A
As Katie runs forward, one of the fighters attacks her and knocks her to the ground.
Speaker A
At that moment, Shelling arrives and saves her.
Speaker A
Soon, Shang and Shelling are fighting the Ten Rings soldiers side by side.
Speaker A
Shang confronts her, saying she left them behind to die.
Speaker A
She responds that now he understands how it feels when someone abandons you during the worst moment of your life.
Speaker A
Together, they take down all the soldiers.
Speaker A
Suddenly, the Ten Rings most dangerous warrior, Death Dealer, appears.
Speaker A
He attacks Shelling, steals her necklace and escapes.
Speaker A
Seeing this, Shang chases after him and blocks his path.
Speaker A
A brutal fight breaks out between them.
Speaker A
Shang is fueled by years of suppressed rage because Death Dealer tortured him in the past.
Speaker A
He overpowers him and begins beating him mercilessly.
Speaker A
Before he can finish it, his father arrives and stops him.
Speaker A
He tells Shang that he missed him deeply.
Speaker A
They all return home where the Ten Rings army welcomes them.
Speaker A
Shelling takes Katie to her room.
Speaker A
Katie nervously asks if their father will kill her.
Speaker A
Shelling says that if she stays quiet, he might forget she's even there.
Speaker A
After their mother died, he completely changed.
Speaker A
He believes Jiling reminded him of her, so he wouldn't even look at her because she wasn't allowed to train with the boys.
Speaker A
She secretly taught herself martial arts by watching from a distance and learned everything better than them.
Speaker A
Katie asks when she left home.
Speaker A
Shelling says she ran away at 16 when she realized her brother was never coming back.
Speaker A
Later, they all sit down for dinner.
Speaker A
Shang asks how his father found them.
Speaker A
He replies that he's been watching them both for a long time and says the time has come for them to stand beside him.
Speaker A
Shang refuses.
Speaker A
Their father takes them into a private room and explains that after they ran away, memories of their mother consumed him even more.
Speaker A
He began studying Talo and learned about a hidden gate deep within the mountains where the people of Talo imprisoned their mother.
Speaker A
Neither sibling believes him.
Speaker A
He says he didn't believe it either until one day while sitting alone in that room, he heard her voice clearly as if she were right there.
Speaker A
She told him she needed his help.
Speaker A
Shang asks why the people of Talo would do that.
Speaker A
He explains that when they fell in love, she wanted them to live together in Talo.
Speaker A
She asked the elders for permission, but they refused, saying he wasn't worthy.
Speaker A
This convinces him that Ying Lee is still alive and being held captive.
Speaker A
Shang insists their mother is gone.
Speaker A
Their father leads them into the hall, when he places their mother's pendant into the dragon statue's eyes, water pours out and instantly freezes.
Speaker A
As the ice collapses, it reveals a hidden path.
Speaker A
He explains that the road to Talo is a maze, but once a year, on a specific day, a straight path opens in the middle of the forest.
Speaker A
To reach it, you must know exactly when and where it will appear, and now he knows both.
Speaker A
He orders the Ten Rings army to prepare, in three days they will march to free his wife and bring her home.
Speaker A
He tells Shang he brought him here so he could help rescue his mother.
Speaker A
Shelling asks what he'll do if the villagers try to stop him.
Speaker A
He coldly replies that he'll burn the entire village to the ground.
Speaker A
Shang tells him he can't enter Talo with these delusions.
Speaker A
Enraged, he attacks both of them and orders them thrown into prison.
Speaker A
Back in his room, he once again hears Ying Lee's voice.
Speaker A
She tells him they will soon be together again.
Speaker A
Meanwhile, Shang, Shelling, and Katie are locked in a cell.
Speaker A
Shang says if they don't reach Talo before his father does, everything left of their family will be destroyed.
Speaker A
They hear strange noises and investigate.
Speaker A
Discovering a man named Trevor Slattery.
Speaker A
Trevor explains that years ago, a producer cast him as a terrorist, but the producer was an actual terrorist.
Speaker A
When Trevor played the role, the authorities believed it was real and arrested him.
Speaker A
Later, their father freed him from prison, intending to kill him, but after Trevor performed for him, his heart softened, and Trevor has been putting on weekly shows ever since.
Speaker A
Suddenly, a mythical creature appears.
Speaker A
Shang and Katie panic when they see it has no head.
Speaker A
Trevor calmly explains that it's named Morris and that he can understand it.
Speaker A
Morris tells him that it knows them because it grew up in Talo with their mother.
Speaker A
Their father stole it while searching for the hidden path through the enchanted forest.
Speaker A
Now it wants to go home.
Speaker A
Shang says that if it were up to him, he would take it back immediately.
Speaker A
But according to his father, the path only opens once a year.
Speaker A
Trevor says that Morris believes he can still take them there and guide them across the maze.
Speaker A
However, it's extremely dangerous because no one has ever crossed it alive.
Speaker A
Katie asks how they are supposed to get out of the place.
Speaker A
Just then, Shelling discovers a hidden tunnel and tells Shang that Death Dealer has escaped with the vehicle from the complex.
Speaker A
Unfortunately, the guards realize what's happening and rush in to stop them.
Speaker A
They flee through another route, but the exit can only be opened using a fingerprint.
Speaker A
When the Ten Rings soldiers try to block their escape, they begin taking them down one by one.
Speaker A
With the help of one man, they managed to unlock the door and escape safely.
Speaker A
By morning, they reached the edge of a forest.
Speaker A
Morris guides them, helping them avoid the forest's illusion until they arrive at a waterfall.
Speaker A
As soon as they enter it, the water suddenly freezes, revealing a secret passage that leads directly to Talo.
Speaker A
There they see countless mythical creatures and soon arrive at the village.
Speaker A
Shang introduces everyone, but the villagers refuse to listen and attack them.
Speaker A
At that moment, Ying Lee's sister, Ying Nan, appears and stops the fight.
Speaker A
She tells Shang and Shelling that she is their aunt.
Speaker A
She is overjoyed to see them both.
Speaker A
Shang explains that they don't have much time because their father is coming to attack.
Speaker A
Nan takes them to the river bank where she explains that they are the guardians of the dark gate, protecting the world from the evil imprisoned behind it.
Speaker A
Shang tells her that his father is trying to open the gate because he believes their mother is trapped inside.
Speaker A
Nan asks why he believes this.
Speaker A
Shelling explains that he has been hearing their mother's voice calling out for help.
Speaker A
Nan then tells them the history of Talo.
Speaker A
Their village is only a small part of a vast realm, one filled with cities more magnificent than anything in the known universe.
Speaker A
Thousands of years ago, the people lived in peace and prosperity until a dark beast shattered that harmony.
Speaker A
The creature arrived with an army of soul eaters.
Speaker A
Anyone who stood in its path was destroyed, and with every soul consumed, the beast grew stronger, nearly annihilating their world.
Speaker A
It then turned its sights on the human world.
Speaker A
To stop it, the leaders of Talo sent their greatest warriors, but their ancestors could not withstand the dark forces.
Speaker A
Eventually, the great protector dragon came to their aid and turned defeat into victory.
Speaker A
Together, they sealed the dark beast and its army behind the dark gate.
Speaker A
Through the great protector's magic, the people of Talo have guarded that gate ever since and will continue to do so.
Speaker A
Nan explains that Shang's father is not the only one who has tried to open the gate.
Speaker A
Over the centuries, many have attempted it, but all failed.
Speaker A
They all shared one thing in common, each heard a voice promising to fulfill their deepest desires.
Speaker A
The soul eaters know they can be freed by the power of the Ten Rings, so they are calling out to his father in their mother's voice.
Speaker A
Nan then takes Shang and Shelling to the ancestral chamber.
Speaker A
Where she reveals that their mother knew they would one day come.
Speaker A
That's why she told Nan long ago exactly what preparations needed to be made.
Speaker A
She hands both of them their suits and tells them that after losing a mother, every child feels alone in the world.
Speaker A
But they are not alone.
Speaker A
They are children of this family now and they are welcome here.
Speaker A
After that, everyone begins training.
Speaker A
Katie also starts learning archery.
Speaker A
Meanwhile, Shang goes to his aunt and asks her how his mother defeated his father.
Speaker A
She begins teaching him the same technique.
Speaker A
At the same time, Wenwu tells his men that at first light, they will leave for Talo.
Speaker A
Because the path will open in the morning.
Speaker A
Shang is deeply troubled.
Speaker A
Painful memories from the past begin to resurface.
Speaker A
How members of the Iron Gang killed his mother.
Speaker A
Overwhelmed, he grows quiet and distant.
Speaker A
Katie comes to him and he finally admits that he lied when he said he couldn't kill his mother's murderers.
Speaker A
He says he believed that by changing his name and identity, he could escape what happened.
Speaker A
But now he feels that if his mother were alive, she would hate him.
Speaker A
She tells him none of it was his fault.
Speaker A
His father had started training him to be a killer when he was only seven years old.
Speaker A
He responds by saying that his father is responsible for his mother's death and now he is coming to destroy their home.
Speaker A
He says he will end it because that's what he was taught to do.
Speaker A
Saying this, he walks away, broken and heavy with grief.
Speaker A
The next morning, everyone prepares for battle.
Speaker A
Wenwu arrives with his entire army.
Speaker A
He tells Shang that he has come to help the people who imprisoned his mother.
Speaker A
His aunt says she isn't there, that what's calling him is a monster trying to deceive him and destroy everything.
Speaker A
He refuses to listen and launches an attack.
Speaker A
And the fight begins.
Speaker A
As Wenwu moves toward the gate, Shang steps in to stop him.
Speaker A
Wenwu mocks him, asking if he really thinks he can fight him alone.
Speaker A
Shang replies that he isn't afraid.
Speaker A
His father lunges at him and starts attacking, saying,
Speaker B
spent your entire life afraid.
Speaker A
You were there when they came to kill your mother, but you did nothing.
Speaker A
Shang responds.
Speaker B
She was gone and we needed you.
Speaker B
But you chose those damn rings over us.
Speaker A
Saying this, he continues to strike him.
Speaker A
Then he adds,
Speaker A
Do you really think mom would come back to you, and even if she could, would she want to come back to someone like you?
Speaker A
Enraged by those words, he unleashes all the rings at once.
Speaker A
The force of the attack sends Shang flying backward, crashing into the water below.
Speaker A
Then Wenwu moves toward the gate because he can still hear Ying Lee's voice calling out for help.
Speaker A
Believing she's trapped inside, he begins striking the gate with the Ten Rings.
Speaker A
Determined to break it open.
Speaker A
As he attacks, soul eaters start slipping out through cracks in the door.
Speaker A
Shelling warns everyone that if they don't fight together, they'll all be killed.
Speaker A
She tells them their weapons are useless against these creatures and that survival depends on working as one.
Speaker A
Razor Fist pushes back, saying they don't need her help.
Speaker A
They are the Ten Rings.
Speaker A
At that moment, a soul eater rips the soul from one of their own and kills him.
Speaker A
They desperately try to save him, but their weapons have no effect.
Speaker A
Another creature attacks Razor Fist, but his sister saves him using her weapon.
Speaker A
She explains that only the weapons of Talo can kill them because they are forged with dragon scale.
Speaker A
Realizing they can't fight alone, Razor Fist agrees to join forces.
Speaker A
The soul eaters begin carrying the stolen souls back through the dark gate to strengthen the dweller in darkness.
Speaker A
She warns that if the creature grows any stronger, no one will be able to stop it.
Speaker A
They must aim for its throat.
Speaker A
They attack together, but a soul eater grabs Guangbo and drains his soul.
Speaker A
Katie is terrified.
Speaker A
She has only one arrow left.
Speaker A
And she only learned archery the day before.
Speaker A
The creature grabs Jaling as well and starts killing her.
Speaker A
Shang holds onto his sister's hand.
Speaker A
She tells him he has to let go, or the creature will take the dragon's soul.
Speaker A
Shang refuses, saying he can't lose her again.
Speaker A
The creature begins swallowing the dragon's soul.
Speaker A
At the last possible moment, Katie fires her arrow straight into the creature's throat.
Speaker A
Her shot is perfect.
Speaker A
And the dragon's soul is saved.
Speaker A
The dragon drags the creature down toward the water and restrains it with its power.
Speaker A
Shang leaps onto the creature and drives the rings into its chest.
Speaker A
Using them in a powerful controlled motion, he destroys the monster.
Speaker A
All the soul eaters die with it.
Speaker A
The dragon carries Shang and Jialing safely to shore.
Speaker A
Many lives have been lost in the battle.
Speaker A
That night, the fallen are honored for their sacrifice.
Speaker A
Their bravery made the new dawn possible.
Speaker A
With the darkness defeated, the dragon returns to the sky.
Speaker A
Later, Shang and Katie returned to San Francisco and tell their friends everything that happened.
Speaker A
No one believes them and asks where Shang's sister is if the story's true.
Speaker A
Shang explains that she went home to shut down their father's illegal operation.
Speaker A
Still, no one is convinced.
Speaker A
Then Wong arrives to take them.
Speaker A
He asked Shang if he still has the rings.
Speaker A
Shang confirms that he does.
Speaker A
Shang and Katie leave with Wong, shocking everyone watching.
Speaker A
The movie ends there.
