Page "The Myth (film)" Paragraph 2

In the present-day, Jack, an archeologist, is the reincarnation of Meng Yi, as he often dreams about his past life.

One day, his friend William ( Tony Leung Ka-fai ) invites him on a quest to find a rare material that can create a field of zero gravity.

They travel to a floating tomb of a Dassar king in India, where Jack finds a sword and has a recollection of a duel he had with the king in his past life.

William removes a piece of the material and accidentally collapses the zero gravity field holding up the tomb, thereby destroying it.

William manages to escape but Jack leaps off a cliff and falls into a river.

He loses consciousness and drifts along with the current until he is saved by an Indian girl named Samantha ( Mallika Sherawat ).

Later, Samantha brings Jack to see her uncle, a Kalaripayattu guru, who enlightens him about his past and future.

Jack succeeds in returning home safely and he delivers the sword to the National Museum of China as a national treasure.

His action angered the leader of the secret organisation that has been funding Jack and William's treasure hunt.
