Plot
Jonathan Green, an intrepid English mapmaker that is always looking for his next adventures, receives a commission to create a map charting the furthest part of Russia. Over the course of his long journey, Jonathan stumbles into several unusual adventures, from bizarre conflicts with strange creatures and battles with maestros of martial arts to thousand-year-old witches hidden in the most unusual corners of the legendary China.
Nevertheless, all of these tests will seem like a child's play when he realises that he must face one of the biggest enemies that the dark magic has ever created, the great "King of the Dragons".
The movies adapts three landmark legends from both European and Asian popular culture: the kingdom of Peter the Great, the curse of the tea way and the legend of the iron mask.
'The Mystery of the Dragon Seal' is directed by Oleg Stephenko ('Viy', 'Muzhskoy sezon. Barkhatnaya revolyutsiya') and stars Jason Flemyng ('The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', 'A Christmas Carol'), Arnold Schwarzenegger ('Terminator', 'Killing Gunther'), Jackie Chan ('Rush Hour', 'Shen tan Pu Song Ling'), Rutger Hauer ('Blade Runner', 'Mariette in Ecstasy'), Charles Dance ('Game of Thrones', 'The Crown') and Anna Churina ('Mantikora', 'Love Made Easy').
