本片主要讲述了在明朝某年间,山寨大王马天在刘公公的授意下,行刺当朝皇帝未遂。兵部尚书诸葛明府上的无辜家丁周不凡,因长相与马天相似,被当作替罪羊送进牢房。为了活命,周不凡被牵扯进一场风云诡谲的朝廷争斗之中,开始一段啼笑皆非、误会丛生的倒霉旅程。。The story is very basic| it deals with the adventures of young street-criminals in Madrid who graduate from car-theft to bank-robbery. What's interesting is the way Saura makes us care about these "hijos de nadie", who are kind and decent people 50% of the time, and feel they have no future in regular society. But the movie never sentimentalizes them - they do exactly what you'd expect such people to do.。
