The slam, the glam, the jam: Cradle 2 the Grave brings it! Producer Joel Silver and director Andrzej Bartkowiak, who fused martial arts with hip-hop style in Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds, take it to the next level with Cradle 2 the Grave. Screen heros Jet Li andiDMX hit home and hit hard, starring as rivals-turned partners in a volatile street war ignited by kidnapping, stolen black diamonds and a sadistic crimelord (Mark Dacascos). Kelly Hu and Gabrielle Union flex beauty and strength as foes destined for a clawdown. And Anthony Anderson and Tom Arnold add comedy jams to all the excitement that's set to gon'-give-it-to-ya tunes by Eminem, DMX and more. No mistaking it. From start 2 finish, Cradle rocks.

Gang leader Tony pulls off a major diamond heist with his crew, but cop-turned-criminal Ling knows who has the loot and responds by kidnapping Tony's daughter and holding her for ransom. Unfortunately, Tony's lost the diamonds as well. As he frantically searches for his daughter and the jewels, Tony pairs with a high-kicking government agent who once worked with Ling and seeks revenge on him.
