Synopsis

Ong-Bak (องค์บาก, 2003) is a Thai action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Prachya Pinkaew. Tony Jaa performed every stunt himself — the tagline is literal: no CGI, no stunt doubles, no wires.

The sacred Buddha head is stolen from a small village in northeastern Thailand. The community turns to Ting, a young man who has spent years training Muay Thai under the local monk. He travels to Bangkok alone, steps into a city of underground fighting rings and criminal networks, and tries to get it back. Straight forward premise. The execution is anything but ordinary.

Shot on a budget of roughly one million dollars, the film earned over twenty times that at the box office worldwide and introduced Tony Jaa as one of the most physically gifted action performers of his generation. A Thai-French production by Sahamongkolfilm and EuropaCorp. Stream Ong-Bak (2003) online on iFILM.
