Synopsis:

Action superstar Jackie Chan returns to form in his latest Lunar New Year martial arts blockbuster Little Big Soldier! After his bold attempt taking a strictly dramatic role in the acclaimed gang thriller Shinjuku Incident, Jackie seems to have found the right balance between his trademark action comedy and a newfound taste for more acting. So he crosses swords with Mando-pop king Leehom Wang (Lust, Caution) in the anti-war historical fable by Mainland writer-director Ding Sheng (The Underdog Knight) based on a story idea Jackie has had on his mind for over 20 years. The audience obviously liked their effort, giving the film a remarkable RMB150 million gross in China alone after four weeks in release. Besides the familiar faces of Yu Rongguang, Ken Lo, and Wang Baoqiang, Little Big Soldier also introduces a number of fresher talents like Korean singer Yoo Seung Jun, Beijing Olympics singer Lin Peng, and Jackie's disciples - the New Seven Little Fortunes - in their silver screen debut.

Set during the final years of the Warring States period of ancient China, the costume crowd-pleaser stars Jackie as a cowardly soldier of Liang, who has captured a heavily wounded young general (Leehom Wang) of rival kingdom Wei through sheer luck. Hoping that he will be rewarded and possibly discharged from the army, the soldier, who longs for peace and freedom, takes the captive along on his way back home. Their initial animosity gradually turns into friendship as the odd couple encounters danger in the shape of refugees, nomads, and the Wei armies on their eventful journey.
