A supernatural action packed movie with high-grade special effects and the kind of raw action scenes the world has come to expect from Thailand .

Set in rural Thailand during the 1920s Dan Chupong (Born to Fight) plays Zieng aka The Rocket Thief, a young man riddled with grief and bent on revenge after witnessing his parentsâ€™ murder by a callous and malicious killer. The only information Zieng, has as to the killerâ€™s identity is the memory of a tattoo-covered man who is part of an organized group of cattle rustlers. Zieng makes it his mission to stop all cattle rustlers and in the process return each head of cattle back to its rightful owner.

After searching the country high and low Zieng finally believes he has found the murderer in a small rural village in the north of Thailand . To Ziengâ€™s dismay he learns that the killer is in fact a warlock of immense power. A mystical man with almost no weakness who is trying to control the whole village. Zieng discovers from a second almighty warlock of supposedly good and kind nature that the evil counterpart has one weakness, if the menstrual blood of a young virgin is harnessed it can be blended with bullets, arrow heads and explosives to him or even kill him. Armed with this knowledge a few hundred highly charged rockets and a dash of menstrual blood our intrepid hero goes up against one of the most dangerous men to have ever walked the earth. After a galactic battle Zieng leaves the warlock beaten, bruised and stripped all of his powers. It is here that he learns the awful and terrifying truth of what he has just unleashed. For the lifeless body of the dead warlock that lay before him is in fact not an evil warlock at all, but a good warlock who has been at loggerheads with his evil counterpart for his eons. Zieng has been deceived by a terrible and evil soul. On killing the good warlock he has released the magicianâ€™s powers, transferring them to the evil one who as Zieng was about to find out killed his parents many years before.
