Emperor Han, a ruthless and ambitious ruler known as the Dragon Emperor, seeks to conquer the world and achieve immortality. To that end, he ordered a mysterious mage named Zi Yuan to search for the secret of eternal life.

Alex, unbeknownst to his parents, is on an expedition in China to unearth the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
Major Conflicts
Alex manages to find the Tomb of the Han emperor, but unwittingly, he becomes the catalyst for the emperor's revival. At the same time, the British government asks Rick and Evelyn to carry out a final mission: deliver a valuable artifact, The Shangri-La ' S, to Shanghai as a diplomatic gift. This artifact turns out to be the key to fully resurrecting the Han emperor and opening the way to Shangri-La, a place that holds the secret of immortality.
In Shanghai, The O'connell family reunites, but they are soon drawn into a conspiracy involving General Yang, a Chinese military officer who wants to revive the Han emperor to lead China to world glory. With the help of The Shangri-La ' S, General Yang and his allies managed to resurrect the Han emperor (Jet Li) as well as his Terracotta Army. The newly risen Emperor possesses supernatural powers, including the ability to control elements such as fire and ice, as well as transform into mythological creatures such as the Three-Headed Dragon.
Travel and adventure
Rick, Evelyn, Alex, and their allies, including Jonathan Carnahan (John Hannah), Evelyn's hilarious brother, embark on a mission to stop the Han emperor before he reaches Shangri-La and gains full immortality. They are aided by Lin (Isabella Leong), a mysterious woman who turns out to be the daughter of Zi Yuan and Ming Guo, who has a personal mission to ensure the emperor's curse is maintained. Lin and Alex begin a romantic relationship in the middle of their adventure.
The journey takes the group across an epic range of landscapes, from the Chinese desert to the Himalayan Mountains. One of the key moments takes place in an ancient temple in the Himalayas, where they meet Zi Yuan (Michelle Yeoh), who turns out to be alive thanks to the fountain of life in Shangri-La. Zi Yuan reveals that the only way to stop the Emperor is to destroy The Shangri-La ' S and use an ancient weapon capable of breaking through the emperor's curse.
Climax and final battle
The Han emperor and his Terracotta Army pursued O'connell's group towards Shangri-La, hidden behind mountains. There, the Han emperor managed to drink the fountain of life, regain his full strength and become almost invincible. Meanwhile, Zi Yuan and Lin raise up an army of immortal warriors—the souls of Warriors cursed alongside the Emperor-to fight the Terracotta Army.
Epic battles took place on the plains near the Great Wall of China. Rick, Alex, and Evelyn team up to face the Han emperor in a fierce fight, while Jonathan helps coordinate an attack from the air using a plane. In a crucial moment, Zi Yuan sacrificed himself to weaken the Emperor, giving Rick and Alex the opportunity to attack. With the cooperation of father and son, they finally managed to stab the emperor with an ancient weapon, destroying his body and ending his threat once and for all. The Terracotta Army was destroyed, and General Yang and his allies were defeated.
Closing

Lin chooses to stay at Shangri-La to keep the place a secret, while Jonathan decides to open a nightclub in Peru, hinting at his next adventure. The Film closes on an optimistic note, showing that the O'connell family is always ready for new adventures, although the supernatural threat has ended for now.
Important themes and elements
The Film combines themes of family, sacrifice and adventure with a rich Chinese mythological setting. Action elements such as the battle with the Terracotta Army, The Chase in Shanghai, and the fight in the Himalayas provide a quick rhythm, while humor from Jonathan and the dynamics of the O'connell family add a light touch.
