Set right before the fall of Thailand's old capital, Ayuttaya, Bang Rajan draws on the legend of a village of fighters who bravely fended off the Burmese armies.

But the small village of Bang Rajan chose to sacrifice their own lives before becoming slaves to the Burmese empire.

As each subsequent battles becomes fiercer, the villagers tries to forge a canon to battle the enemy in a final battle where everyone, women and children included, have to fight in combat.
