More than 400 years after the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Great Sage Monkey King became a legend. In Chang'an City, where mountain demons are rampant, the orphan Jiang Liuer and the walking monk Faming depended on each other for life, and the little boy often fascinated the Sun Wukong who made the havoc in the Heavenly Palace. One day, the mountain demon came to rob the boy and girl. Jiang Liuer rescued a little girl, and the mountain demon chased and killed him. He escaped all the way and ran into the Five Elements Mountain, and released the seal of Monkey King by mistake. After Wukong was free, he just wanted to go back to Huaguo Mountain, but the seal on his wrist was unsolved, and he owed Jiang Liu'er a favor, so he reluctantly escorted him back to Chang'an City. Along the way, Bajie and Bailongma also appeared by fate, but they were either downcast or demonic, and the heroes were no longer. In order to rob the girl, the demon king set up a nightclub puzzle, but found that Wukong had lost his magic power and easily captured the girl. Wukong was reluctant to save the girl, Jiang Liuer decided to save it himself. On the day of the total solar eclipse, in the Hanging Temple, the demon king was about to throw the boys and girls into the pill furnace, but Jiang Liuer rushed into the dojo, and the final battle began. The film tells the story in the way Hollywood is familiar with road films, running through the changing and grand scenes, and technically using panoramic 3D construction, from the big scenes to the grass and trees, there are prototypes, not only "Avatar"-style magic forest, but also The "Lord of the Rings"-like Tiangong and magic castles express the sturdy Chang'an City, the Wuxingshan caves lined with giant Buddhas, and the enchanting Hanging Temple, etc., with rich, delicate and reliable textures. In addition, the film ingeniously integrates the oriental aesthetics and the natural light color charm in the 3D animation technology, such as the shadow play on the street, the misty rain of a plum tree in the corner, the red fruit under the big peach tree, the rainstorm on the stone arch bridge is coming, The sailboat on the riverside in front of the mountain, and the scholar shape of the big BOSS. The film takes the well-known mythological themes and captures the chivalrous feelings that warm the world.
