Plot
This movie involves cultural beliefs. Two major Thai beliefs actually. Muay Thai and Buddhism. There is also the fact that there is a relationship between man and elephant that is believed to be sacred. That belief stems back to ancient times. The elephant is honored and protected as well as considered an important part of Muay Thai, which is actually a form of defense. Muay Thai, in its original form, shows much beauty in its action and has never before been shown on film before this movie. It's power is stunning. The storyline is about a father and his son who have raised two elephants with the intention of presenting them to the King of Thailand, Unfortunately, an unsavory gang lord boss apprehends the elephants and sells them to someone in Australia. The only way that the boy and his Father can hope to recapture the precious elephants is to "come up" against the evil that has the elephants. Fortunately, they have the help of the police and a Thai girl. But they are going up against the Gang boss Madame and her evil cohorts. And they are in a different country where there is a conspiracy attached to the stealing of the elephants.
