[War Party]

Joong-Ho is a dirty detective turned pimp who finds himself in financial trouble because his girls keep disappearing without clearing their debts. At first he thinks one of his competitors is simply stealing his girls and reselling them for profit. He soon realizes that all the vanished girls were called by the same client, who has just contacted his girl, Mi-Jin. Joong-Ho rushes to confront the client, Young Min, but Mi-Jin is nowhere to be found. With Young Min in custody on suspicion of homocide, the police must find significant evidence against him, or he will be set free within 12 hours. Meanwhile, Joong-Ho searches for Mi-Jin, who may still be alive, but awaits certain death if Young Min is set free...

Set in the 1930s Manchurian desert where lawlessness rules and many different ethnic groups clash, three Korean men fatefully meet each other on a train. Do-Won (Jung Woo-Sung) is a bounty hunter who tracks down any criminals with rewards on their heads. Chang-Yi (Lee Byung-Hun) is the leader of a group of tough-as-nails bandits. He cannot stand to be the second best. Tae-Goo (Song Kang-Ho) is a train robber with nine lives.
The three strangers engage in a chase across Manchuria to take possession of a map Tae-Goo discovers while robbing the train. Also on the hunt for the mysterious map are the Japanese army and Asian bandits. In this unpredictable, escalating battle for the map, who will stand in the end as the winner?
