Plot

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) is a British crime comedy directed by Guy Ritchie. The plot revolves around four friends—Eddy, Tom, Soap, and Bacon—who pool their money for Eddy to join a high-stakes card game. Eddy loses to the gangster Hatchet Harry, who demands they repay him £500,000 within a week. To settle the debt, the friends plan to rob a small-time gang planning their own heist. Chaos ensues when a pair of antique shotguns are inadvertently stolen, drawing the interest of various criminals. The situation spirals out of control with multiple parties, including a violent drug lord, merciless enforcers, and bumbling crooks, all seeking the guns and the money. The film’s intricate narrative weaves dark humor and action, culminating in a climactic showdown where luck and coincidence determine the fates of the protagonists and their adversaries.
