Chandler Jarrell (Eddie Murphy) is een detective met een speciale gave voor het vinden van kinderen. Hem wordt verteld dat hij De Uitverkorene is, die het Gouden Kind zal vinden en beschermen. Hij gelooft hier niets van, maar vindt steeds meer bewijs hiervoor wanneer hij onderzoek doet naar demoon-aanbidders.
Nee, helaas is The Golden Child nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
