Storyline

The protagonists are sworn brothers Han Lang and He Hui, both thieves, who part ways after their master is murdered. Eventually they avenge him but turn against each other and take different paths in life. The story is told from the perspective of rogue thieves hidden on the margins of society. It explores brotherhood beneath the guise of chivalrous theft, with both characters carrying dark and bloody pasts, embodying both the light and darkness of human nature. Their relationship goes from brotherly love to misunderstanding to reconciliation, with multiple twists of betrayal and loyalty, as human nature and desire repeatedly surge. The film's answer to whether desire devours humanity or humanity overcomes desire is that even thieves have a code: one should carry a Buddha's heart, which seems contradictory but carries deep meaning.
