Celebrated director Chu Yuan helms "Descendant Of The Sun", a Superman meets Hercules a la old style martial art film. Derek Yee is a magic solar baby sent Earthbound by a benevolent god, raised by an old carpenter, has martial art superpowers and "green kryptonite" loses them during solar eclipses. That's when the evil baby counterpart shows up. Demon-paced martial arts action by Jackie Chan's kung-fu classmates Yuan Pin and Yuen Hua compliments Toho Studio style special optical effects.

A celestial infant gifted with the strength of gods finds himself grounded by the predictable rhythm of solar eclipses. This vintage martial arts fantasy pits a solar-powered hero against mortal threats whenever the sun fades from the sky.
