John Carpenter unleashes pure movie magic in his stunning ode to Hong Kong chop-socky spectacle. Kurt Russell’s overconfident machismo collides with epic kung-fu battles, outrageous magic, and some of cinema’s most quotable lines in this nonstop thrill ride under San Francisco’s Chinatown.

When trucker-turned-reluctant-hero Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) tries to help his friend Wang Chi rescue his fiancée from a gang of street toughs, he is plunged head first into a world of sorcery, ancient Chinese mysticism, and ruthless gangsters. Facing the evil sorcerer Lo Pan and his deadly minions, Jack must contend with ghosts, evil spirits, monsters, and Kung Fu masters—all while barely keeping his unwarranted bravado intact. Big Trouble in Little China is the adventure of a life time, in just over an hour and a half.
