Plot summary
Lenny Cole runs real estate in London, with a corrupt councillor fixing the paperwork and Archy, his right-hand man, handling the dirtier work. Uri Omovich, a Russian billionaire, plans a fixed land deal and agrees to Lenny's price of seven million euros for bribing the council, lending him a painting as a sign of trust. London's criminals want a piece of the deal, among them Uri's accountant Stella and the Wild Bunch, a gang of small-time crooks led by One-Two with Mumbles and their driver Handsome Bob. Lenny's estranged stepson Johnny Quid is a drug-addicted musician whose former managers are Mickey and Roman.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about RocknRolla (2008)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Asked about a sequel in a 2011 interview, Guy Ritchie said he had written a script he thought was great and that Joel Silver wanted to pay for it, but they had never found the time: “It's sitting there and we'd all like to do it.”
- RocknRolla grossed just under $25.7 million worldwide on an $18 million budget, a far smaller haul than Guy Ritchie's earlier gangster film Snatch, which had taken in $83 million.
- The opening tennis-court scene and the round of golf were both shot at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire, the golf played on the estate's 21st green with its clubhouse standing in the background.
- Jason Statham, who had appeared in three of Guy Ritchie's earlier films, was kept out of RocknRolla by a scheduling conflict that prevented his casting.
