Synopsis: In a time of great danger, the Monks of Dun Huang hid the Sharira - a Relic with mystical power so strong; it had the ability to transform mankind for the better…or, in the wrong hands, for the worse. To protect this greatest of treasures, it was placed where no ordinary human being would ever be... In a time of great danger, the Monks of Dun Huang hid the Sharira - a Relic with mystical power so strong; it had the ability to transform mankind for the better…or, in the wrong hands, for the worse. To protect this greatest of treasures, it was placed where no ordinary human being would ever be able to retrieve it.

However, it is destined to happen that someday the Sharira will be recovered. To ensure that it could be retrieved when such a time came, the Monks turned to a family of acrobats. For hundreds of years this family has trained, passing on the skills required to perform the ultimate leap when the time is at hand.

Today, Yin (Michelle Yeoh) and her brother Tong (Brandon Chang), are the last hiers in this long lineage of acrobats. One day, Eric (Ben Chaplin), a man from Yin’s past shows up with a medallion - the Heart of Dun Huang -the key to unlock the secrets of the Sharira. Together they embark on a treacherous journey, across vast mystic forests, ancient villages and deep into hidden caves, avoiding the deadly traps that protect the Sharira and rediscovering what her ancestors once protected.

Following closely on their trail is Karl (Richard Roxburgh), a merciless, unscrupulous man, the very kind of person from which power was first hidden. -- © Miramax [More]

While the picture doesn't completely fail, it does fall short.

Replacing the bullwhip with an acrobat’s silk scarf, The Touch aspires to be Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dun Huang. It plays more like Lara Croft’s slightly befuddled Asian sister gone astray in the Gobi desert
