The Rebel

Vietnam in den 20er Jahren. Im Sold der französischen Kolonialherren bekämpft der Spezialagent Cuong aufständische Landsleute. Natürlich weiß auch die schöne Rebellin Thuy Errungenschaften wie die Eisenbahn oder elektrisches Licht zu schätzen, doch mehr noch liebt sie die Freiheit ihrer Heimat. Das sieht Cuong tief im Innern ganz ähnlich, und lässt sich von der Schönen nur allzu bereitwillig zur gemeinsamen abenteuerlichen Flucht durchs Land verleiten. Die ehemaligen Kollegen zeigen wenig Verständnis.

1920s. Vietnam under colonial French ruling. Anti-French rebellions emerge all over the country to disrupt the foreign occupiers. In respond, the colonialist employed units of Vietnamese agents to track and destroy these rebels. The film follows the journey of LE VAN CUONG, a French cultured undercover elite. Although branded with a perfect track record, Cuong's inner conscience is troubled by the sea of Vietnamese blood he had spilled to uphold a French washed ideal. Following an assassination of a high ranking French, Cuong is assigned to seek and kill the notorious leader of the resistance. Cuong encounters VO THANH THUY, a relentless revolutionary fighter and the daughter of the rebel leader. Cuong's superior intends for him to use Thuy as a mean to get to her father but Cuong soon has feelings for her. Thuy's patriotism ignites conflicts between Cuong's consciousness and his cultured faith. Will Cuong discover his inner-self and find love or will he continue his mission?
