They are later joined by Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) and Sha Wujing (Friar Sand) to help them on their way. Wukong travels with Orton in his quest to save the original manuscript of Journey to the West from retroactive destruction if the story itself is erased from history, all of the people who were ever inspired by the lessons it teaches will be worse off, and history will permanently change for the poorer. Orton's first action is to rescue Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, from the mountain in which he has been imprisoned for centuries. When Orton (soon to be named The Scholar From Above) reaches the other side of the portal, he finds that his studies of Confucius will come in handy for the path that lies ahead. This mystical lady (revealed later as Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion) transports him to a portal which offers entrance, through the teachings of Confucius (played by Ric Young), to the ancient Chinese underworld. He is unswayed by this until many modern buildings begin disappearing before his eyes. He has a chance encounter with a beautiful Chinese lady (played by Bai Ling) who says that he is the only one who can save the world from reverting five-hundred years. Nicholas Orton (played by Thomas Gibson) is an American businessman who has lived in China for several years. The miniseries was directed by Peter MacDonald and written by Asian American dramatist David Henry Hwang. It stars Bai Ling, Thomas Gibson, Russell Wong, Eddie Marsan, and Randall Duk Kim.

It is a contemporary take on the classic 16th-century novel Journey to the West.
