Plot
editThe story takes place during the Warlord Era in China where many soldiers became bandits, doing evil nuisances to farmers. In Guangxi, a small village frequently falls victim to bandits who rob and threaten their homeland. In a bid to defend their community, the villagers hire seven warriors to protect them from the bandits' infringements. The seven warriors lead the villagers in preparing for war, and with their collective efforts, they ultimately triumph over the bandits.
