Danny — The Dog

Danny (Jet Li) has been raised since childhood by the sadistic gangster Bart (Bob Hoskins) to be nothing more than a weapon. Locked in a cage under the floor when not in use, Danny wears a steel collar and is conditioned to attack on command, showing no mercy or emotion. His only instinct is violence — until a car accident separates him from Bart. Wounded and lost, Danny is discovered by Sam (Morgan Freeman), a blind, gentle piano tuner, and his teenage stepdaughter Victoria (Kerry Condon). For the first time in his life, Danny experiences kindness, music, and a home. But when Bart tracks him down, Danny must decide: return to the monster who made him, or fight for the humanity he’s only just learned to feel.
