Dragonball Evolution is a 2009 American live-action film adaptation of the Dragon Ball media franchise being produced by 20th Century Fox. The story centers around the adventures of the lead character, Goku, around his 18th birthday.
2,000 years ago, the evil Namekian warlord Piccolo (James Marsters) descended upon the Earth during a solar eclipse and attempted to destroy the world with the aid of his disciple, Oozaru. A group of monks conjured the Mafuba—a powerful but life-threatening enchantment designed to bind those caught within it—and used it to imprison Piccolo. Oozaru disappears, and the Earth gradually recovers. In the present day, Piccolo escapes his imprisonment and begins searching for the legendary Dragonballs in order to make a wish to the magical dragon Shen Long.
