Plot Summary

In Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, lovable street hustler Eddie (Nick Moran) decides to stake the biggest gamble of his life, putting £100,000—painstakingly scraped together with his three closest friends—on a high-stakes card game. His companions Tom (Jason Flemyng), Bacon (Jason Statham), and Soap (Dexter Fletcher) choose Eddie to play on their behalf, convinced he is the sharpest mind at the table.

What they do not realize is that the game is rigged from the start. By the end of the night, Eddie finds himself half a million pounds in debt to the ruthless crime boss Hatchet Harry (P.H. Moriarty). Harry gives Eddie just one week to repay the money, making it brutally clear that failure will cost far more than cash.

Desperate and out of options, Eddie and his friends scramble to find a way out of their predicament. Their frantic attempts to raise the money pull them into London’s criminal underworld, setting off a chain reaction of intersecting schemes, double-crosses, and escalating chaos. With time running out, every decision brings them closer to disaster—or an unlikely escape.
