Cheng (Bruce Lee) goes to live with his adoptive family in Thailand to start working at the factory where his cousins and younger brother already work. However, it soon turns out that the factory is just a front for smuggling drugs and is operated by Hsiao Mi, a.k.a “The Big Boss”, the leader of a crime syndicate. Cheng’s cousins uncover this by mistake and then disappear without a trace. When Cheng realizes who his employer really is, he is forced to break the promise he gave his mother before moving to Thailand – to never use violence. The Big Boss was Bruce Lees first major movie and led to his big breakthrough in Asia.
