Two men cut off from the world in different ways become unlikely friends and protectors in this offbeat
action drama.
Danny (
Jet Li) is a physically powerful but emotionally stunted man; never given any sort of proper education,
Danny has learned little in his lifetime but how to fight, and his minder,
Bart (
Bob Hoskins), treats him more like a guard dog than anything else, using him in illegal no-holds-barred brawls that earn
Bart plenty of money but only reinforce
Danny's violent alienation. When
Bart is injured in an auto accident,
Danny is left to fend for himself, and stumbles upon
Sam (
Morgan Freeman), an elderly piano tuner who has lost his sight.
Sam is the first person to treat
Danny with kindness, and the music he plays soothes the troubled soul of the fighter. However,
Danny's fighting skills soon come in handy when
Sam runs afoul of a pack of small-time crooks who believe he knows too much about their operations.
