A World Without Thieves (China, 2004)

Sha Gen, a naïve village boy working as construction worker in Tibet, is returning home to get married. Refusing to believe that thieves exist in the world, Sha Gen insists on carrying his five years of savings worth ¥60,000 with him rather than use remittance. As such, he has attracted the attention of Wang Bo and Wang Li, who are lovers as well as highly skilled thieves. Wang Bo wants to steal the money as a last hit to end their career, but Wang Li, pregnant with their child and moved by Sha Gen's innocence, decides to protect the boy. The situation is further complicated when a small gang of thieves boards the train.

A World Without Thieves takes places almost entirely on a train, which make sort of a mini-heist movie, where a group of thieves and robbers all try to get their hands on a poor boys savings. Will any of them succeed?

Genre: Action/Crime/Drama
