A gang of criminals with supernatural powers, led by Mahesak, break a rebel Karen warlord Kaoyot out of prison, and plan to steal the national treasury of Thailand in order to fund Kaoyot's continuing fight.

Though the police unit puts up a good fight, among them female officer Deungdao, in order to ultimately defeat the criminals, they need to use magic.

The Tiger Blade was released on October 27, 2005 in Thailand cinemas, where critical and box-office response was practically non-existent.

The Canada-based genre film website, Twitch, praised the film as "pure guilty pleasure" while acknowledging weaknesses that included an unnecessarily convoluted and complicated plot, subpar computer-generated imagery, and poorly framed and edited action sequences.

Subsequent DVD releases in Canada, France (by Luc Besson's EuropaCorp), Japan and Hong Kong are uncensored.
