Plot:

The film begins in the year 1974 of the Buddhist calendar (which corresponds to 1421 in the Gregorian calendar), in feudal Thailand. It is a time of political upheaval, treachery and danger. The opening scene explains how during the reign of King Rama II of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, the Ayuthaya royal court became more powerful then the Sukhothai kingdom and expanded to the east. The Ayuthaya army seiged the City of Angels for several months. One year and one month later...

Lord Sihadecho is a provincial ruler, and a gallant and noble warrior. His son, Tien, a spirited and unyielding youth, aspires to be just like his father, but is forced to undergo dance lessons instead much to his disdain. Meanwhile, the treacherous and power-craving Lord Rajasena plots to seize total control of all Asia and has amassed the greatest army in Asia. Rajasena sends out vicious assassins to murder Lord Sihadecho's family and his loyal soldiers. The only survivor from this massacre is Tien, who manages to escape with deep vengeance in his heart, and becomes a wild and feral child.

Tien is captured by a group of savage slave traders, who throw him into a pit with a giant crocodile when he proves uncontrollable. Tien is saved by Cher Nung ( Sorapong Chatree), leader of the reknowned “Pha Beek Krut” guerilla group, who attack the slave traders. Cher Nung throws a knife to Tien, proclaiming "your life depends on you, young boy", with which Tien kills the crocodile. Intrigued by his physical prowess and attitude, Cher Nung takes Tien to a soothsayer, who says the boy has a great destiny, and will become the greatest warrior who will ever live, and as such Cher Nung takes in Tien as his adoptive son and raises him like himself as a guerilla and a bandit. Tien gets his wish to train as a warrior and more besides, growing up to excel in all kinds of martial arts and war strategies including man-to-man fighting, boxing, incantation, subterfuge, exlosives, stealth, and speed. Tien utilizes a variety of traditional martial arts styles, including Thai Muay Boran, Japanese Kenjutsu, Indonesian Harimau Silat, and Chinese Hung Ga kung fu. His weapons include a katana, scimitar, nunchaku, rope dart, and three-section staff. ^{[1 ]}

Now a young man and with all these forms of martial arts heavily instilled, becoming the greatest warrior to ever live, Tien ( Tony Jaa) is eager to quench the vengeance in his heart by killing the slave traders, which he does. He then goes on to kill Lord Rajasena, whom he does believe he kills, but Rajasena secretly wears armor beneath his cloak and survives the attempt on his life. Attempting to get to Rajasena again, Tien must first get past Rajasena's entire army of highly-skilled and vicious killers, including samurai, ninjas, magicians, and the enigmatic and mysterious "crow ghost" ( Dan Chupong), the only enemy in the world who is really a worthy opponent to Tien, and whom Tien fights atop an elephant in a notable scene.

The battle leads to Tien learning about Cher Nung's part in his father's death, as he was once in league with Rajasena. Cher Nung explains that he must carry out Rajasena's orders, or his family will be killed. As Tien defeats Cher Nung, Cher Nung once again calls Tien his son and asks to him to avenge his father's death by finishing him off, which in anguish Tien does.

Lord Rajasena's countless armies obliterate the supremely skilled Pha Beek Krut through sheer numbers. The film ends on a cliffhanger with Tien, after defeating hundreds of Rajasena's warriors, being finally overwhelmed by hundreds more. Rajasena orders Tien to be taken away to be slowly tortured to death. It is unclear whether Tien survives, and if he does, how it is so. An extremely ambiguous and vague voice-over explains that Tien "may find a way to cheat death again", and Tien is shown with a fully-grown beard (which he doesn't have in the film) standing in front of a scarred golden Buddha statue, perhaps indicating reincarnation or some other mystical solution. Nevertheless, the story is set to be resolved and continued in the sequel Ong Bak 3 .
