의 차트리찰레름 유콘이 다시 한번 대작 시대극에 도전한다. 총 3부작으로 기획된 이 작품은 마지막 3부가 12월에 개봉될 예정이며, 1, 2부는 이번에 소개된다. 16세기, 아유다야 왕국 마하 탐마라차 왕의 아들 나레수안은 홍사와디(지금의 미얀마)에 볼모로 잡혀가 성장한다. 1571년 고향으로 돌아온 나레수안은 뛰어난 지도력으로 아유다야 왕국의 새로운 초석을 닦는다. 하지만 홍사와디의 새로운 왕 난다바인은 호시탐탐 나레수안의 제거를 노린다. 1590년 부왕의 서거에 이어 왕의 자리에 오른 나레수안은 아유다야 왕국의 독립을 선언하고 홍사와디와의 일전을 맞는다. 나레수안 왕은 태국인들이 가장 존경하는 위대한 왕이며, 그의 일대기 역시 널리 알려져 있다. 그 복잡한 역사적 사건과 나레수안의 인간적 면모를 적절히 조화시켜가며, 영화 [나레수안 왕]을 웅장한 대서사시로 탄생시킨 것은 역시 차트리찰레름 유콘의 탁월한 연출력 때문이다.

Armed with carbines and just enough courage, they try to put some light on these inexplicable events.

Seven ex-soldiers are hired to rob a group of American GI's trucks, under the misguided notion that these trucks contain a wealth of treasures. They successfully seize the trucks, only to find that there's nothing precious within. A troop of fully-armed, brutal, not to mention racist GIs, led by Peter, is now after them. At the same time, their former superior (in charge of seven) is tracking down a cargo of dangerous chemicals and he asks for their help. They reluctantly agree, and their personal conflict is turned into an action-packed confrontation fought and waged for the sake of one thing only: their country.

The elephant-keeper, on the other hand, is economically compelled to work for the poachers in order to keep his family fed, and to preserve the family lands from sale by a greedy businessman who once loaned them money.
