Plot: In a poor village in rural Thailand the Nong Pra-du temple houses the sacred statue of Ong Bak. The villagers believe that Ong Bak has magical powers that keep them safe and prosperous. One night, former villager Don cuts off and steals the head of Ong Bak to gain favor with crime boss Khom Tuan.
Without the head of Ong Bak- the village will fall into ruin. All hopes for survival now rest on the shoulders of orphan villager Ting- a reluctant but gifted Muay Thai boxer who must travel to the seedy streets of Bangkok and fight for the life of his village.
John's Summary:
It's a martial arts action movie. With Luc Besson taking the original and re-editing it. Fuck, yeah.
