See the films the platforms disagree about most →In 1920s China, a charismatic bandit named Pocky Zhang ambushes a train carrying a new governor, Ma Bang, and his wife. Zhang impersonates the governor to take control of the corrupt town of Goose Town. He soon finds himself in a high-stakes battle of wits with the town's ruthless local tyrant, Master Huang. The two men engage in an elaborate and increasingly absurd game of deception and one-upmanship, with the townspeople caught in the middle.
