Matt Damon is "going to stay ... and fight." But he doesn't exactly know what he's fighting against in the new 30-second commercial for "The Great Wall."

In this action-adventure fantasy thriller set in ancient China -- which not only marks Damon's first foray into Chinese filmmaking but is also the first English-language production from renowned Chinese director Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers) -- Damon plays a European mercenary who finds himself being held as a suspected thief by an army of elite Chinese soldiers stationed at the Great Wall of China.

When Damon's character discovers that these highly-trained warriors have all sworn to defend the wall against mythical lizard-like monsters, he chooses to stay and fight ... to the death if need be.

The film is one of the first major co-production between Hollywood and China, and is among the biggest budgeted Chinese films in history. It will open in the U.S. on February 17th.
