Ong-Bak 3 picks up where Ong-Bak 2 left off, continuing the story of Tien (played by Tony Jaa), a skilled warrior on a quest for vengeance and redemption. After being captured and brutally tortured, Tien is rescued by a group of monks in a remote village, where he begins a journey of spiritual healing and physical restoration. He must learn to master the ancient art of “Muay Boran” and harness the power of inner peace to defeat a growing evil that threatens the balance of the kingdom.
