Former X-Files writer James Wong directed this sci-fi/martial arts movie. The plot centers around the idea that in the near future, a technology called "quantum tunneling" will allow human beings to travel between parallel universes. The abuse of this ability by criminal elements has led to the formation of the Multi-Verse Authorities or "MVA," an agency of quantum traveling cops who apprehend violators of inter-dimensional laws.
The MVA faces its greatest crisis when a former agent named Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li) goes renegade, traveling between one universe and the next, murdering his own parallel selves and gaining enormous power with each slaying. It is believed that when Yulaw has become "the one," the only version of himself to exist, he will be omnipotent. However, the final Gabriel Yulaw exists in our plane of existence (the "magna universe") and is also becoming stronger, though he doesn't understand why. Hot on the evil Yulaw's trail are his former partner Harry Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and Harry's new colleague Evan Funsch (Jason Statham). “The One” sets a martial arts milestone by pitting action star Jet Li against his greatest enemy: himself. What is also very interesting about this movie is that Jet plays two different characters that utilize two different fighting styles: bagua zhang and xing yi quan.[1]
