The One is a 2001 American science fiction action film directed by James Wong, who also writer with Glen Morgan, both of whom produced with Steve Chasman and Charles Newirth. The film stars Jet Li, Delroy Lindo, Carla Gugino, and Jason Statham, with action choreography by Corey Yuen.
The film, which deals with the concept of multiverses and interdimensional travel, follows Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li), a rogue agent who travels to parallel realities in order for him to kill other versions of himself to become a mythical super-being known as "The One". Li plays a dual role as Yulaw and Gabe Law, an LASD deputy sheriff who teams up with a multiverse agent to prevent Yulaw from becoming the One.
The One was released in the United States by Columbia Pictures on November 2, 2001, and received negative critical reviews but grossed $79.6 million worldwide.
