to kill Publius and usurp the throne. They meet
HuoAn at a frontier fort on the Silk Road, where they
receive sanctuary. Tiberius and his army, who have
pursued Lucius along the Silk Road, approach the fort
with intention of killing Publius and ambitions of
capturing and controlling the Silk Road. HuoAn
decides to help Lucius and goes to his allies to recruit
an army to fight against Tiberius. HuoAn arrives with
reinforcements, and an epic battle like never seen
before begins.
According to the Chief Operating Officer of Filmone,

Pointing that the film distribution company is pleased
to be the distributor of the thrilling movie by the
veteran actor Jackie Chan, Babatope said: “Certainly,
he is a household name in Nigeria and indeed Africa,
having achieved great things in his career.
Now at 60, when people think he should be slowing
down, the contrary is the case, as he has proven once
more that that age has nothing to do with reaching
your set goals. We are proud to be associated with
this film and the Jackie Chan brand and we are
confident that it will do well at the box office.”
