Bulletproof

In 1943 Tibet, a young monk learns he has fulfilled a sequence of prophecies marking him as his master's successor. He is entrusted with guarding a powerful scroll believed to grant youth and invulnerability. When Colonel Strucker's Nazi troops overrun the temple, he flees with the burden, setting the seed for a lifelong quest.

Decades pass and a nameless monk keeps watch over a new potential guardian. He fixes his gaze on Kar, a selfless young pickpocket whose potential could fulfill the prophecy. The monk's patient vigil begins shaping the path that will bind them across generations.

Kar survives a brutal clash with a local gang that shakes the streets. In the aftermath he meets Jade, a bold woman whose charm masks deeper loyalties and danger. Jade's arrival expands Kar's world and hints at the larger forces hunting them.

Nina, Strucker's calculating granddaughter, presides over a human rights museum exhibit that draws Jade into the larger hunt. Mercenaries begin closing in on the monk as Jade's ties to the exhibit complicate the pursuit. The trio's fragile alliance strains under the weight of growing danger.

The mercenaries close in and the trio hides in a hidden laundromat that doubles as a sanctuary for monks. The monk begins training Kar in earnest, preparing him to endure trials that test body, mind, and spirit. The net tightens as the chase moves through an urban labyrinth.

A rooftop drop results in the scroll's theft by Nina, who soon discovers the item she holds is a counterfeit. Her fury triggers a brutal strike against Kar's world, exposing fragile alliances. The deceit sows mistrust and accelerates the crisis.

An ambitious monk betrays the group by revealing their hideout to Nina, prompting a desperate flight toward Strucker's hidden facility beneath the museum. The chase tightens as Nina's mercenaries close in and new routes through the city open up. The team realizes they must reach the Strucker facility to survive.

Seeking help, Kar and the monk turn to Jade and learn she is the daughter of an imprisoned crime lord, a revelation that seems to fulfill a second prophecy in unexpected ways. The revelation shifts the momentum and draws Jade deeper into the struggle for the scroll. The trio begins to rethink who can wield the artifact's power.

Nina and her mercenaries storm Jade's home, incapacitating the monk with tranquilizers. Nina reads the scroll's verses by comparing tattooed markings on the monk's body and uploads them to Strucker's computer, attempting to unlock the artifact's power. Jade and Kar prepare to strike back.

Jade and Kar stage an explosive assault on the museum, destroying many of Nina's followers. The rescue mission unfolds through subterranean tunnels and water mains, and Kar is swept away by a sudden surge while Jade confronts Nina in a tense showdown.

Nina's power wanes as Jade defeats her, while Strucker reads the scroll and the final verse remains elusive, stalling his ascent. Kar arrives just in time to disrupt Strucker, allowing the monk to break free from captivity and join the climactic struggle.

Kar and the monk confront Strucker in a climactic rooftop fall that ends his threat. The scroll's power shifts to Kar as he fulfills the third prophecy and becomes the next guardian. Strucker is killed by a collapsing statue, and Jade is revealed to be alive, having fulfilled all three prophecies. The old monk parts the final verse, giving half to Kar and half to Jade, and steps aside to begin a shared guardianship as Kar and Jade depart to fulfill their destinies.
