简介：American journalist Nick Orton is caught up in the world of Chinese gods and monsters while on a search for the long lost manuscript to 'Hsi Yu Chi' (The Journey to the West) by Wu Ch'eng En. He is accompanied on his journey by a humanoid ape with incredible strength and magical powers, a humanoid pig-man, and his brother-in-arms, an ex-cannibal. Based on one of the greatest stories in Chinese history.
在这个美国版的西游记当中，因HALLMARK属於闔家观赏的频道，性感的白灵饰演的观世音菩萨衣著还算保守，但这位白灵观音將与洋人唐三藏有感情戏，两人还將穿梭时空三千年，跑到现代来相会，把观世音与唐三藏视为罗密欧与茱丽叶。而主角唐三藏由尼克‧欧顿饰演，型式则像是电动玩具当中的战士，要在观世音与罗素饰演的美猴王带领之下，到神祕的东方找寻力量与爱的真义，剧中当然少不了好莱坞最厉害的电脑特效。儘管这个美国版的《西游记》將原著的故事改得面目全非，但中国传奇故事本身独特的戏剧性与想像力，一直让外国电视电影工作者忍不住动手动脚大改特改。最近还传说《印第安纳‧琼斯》最新一集的故事也想取材西游记，让琼斯博士跟大小妖魔混战，看来古典小说迷往后还將会受到不少惊嚇。
