Shanghai Surprise
A Romantic Adventure For The Dangerous At Heart.
Sean Penn is Glendon Wasey, a quick-witted fortune hunter looking for a fast track out of China. Madonna is Gloria Tatlock, a determined missionary nurse seeking the healing powers of opium for her patients. She wants to help the suffering...he wants boat fare back to the States. So fate sets them on a hectic, exotic, chaotic and quite often romantic quest for stolen drugs. The trouble is, the opium they're after is also the target of every thug and smuggler in Shanghai. It's a wild rickshaw-race adventure with every concubine, kung-fu killer and crime boss in town in hot pursuit!
You're in for a Shanghai Suprise as Sean Penn and Madonna star in this high-flying, grand adventure set in 1937 China, with music by former Beatles' guitarist George Harrison.
