A fast-paced heist film set against the very dark historical backdrop of Japanese-occupied Manchuria, Guns N’ Roses follows Xiao Dongbai, a quick-witted con man who is willing to swap allegiances as soon as he realizes who can do him the most harm. Imprisoned with a revolutionary who knows the details of an impending gold shipment, Xiao is soon released and becomes very popular with the rebels who want that gold for their own cause. Soon, impenetrable bank vaults and questionable love interests are the least of Xiao’s worries.
