Plot summary
In Manchuria under Japanese occupation, Park Chang-yi, a bandit and hired killer, is paid to take a treasure map carried by a Japanese official on a train. The hold-up leaves Japanese and Manchurian guards and civilians dead. Yoon Tae-goo, a thief, seizes the map first and escapes in the confusion. Park Do-won, an eagle-eyed bounty hunter, rides after the reward on Chang-yi and follows the map because it leads to Chang-yi and Tae-goo. Tae-goo is convinced the map shows where the Qing dynasty buried gold and riches. Manchurian bandits want the map sold at the Ghost Market, and the Imperial Japanese Army races to reclaim it.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In the United Kingdom, the British Board of Film Classification ordered five seconds cut from the cinema release because of scenes of horse falls, judged animal cruelty under the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937.
- Much of The Good, the Bad, the Weird was shot in the Gansu province of northwestern China, since Manchuria lacked the open, dry desert landscape the production wanted, with the rest filmed in South Korea.
- Two cuts of the film were released: a 136-minute Korean version and a 129-minute international version whose ending was the one director Kim Jee-woon originally wanted.
