Storyline:
He mastered the art of killing... But no one prepared him for family.
In The Brothers Sun, Charles Sun, a hardened gangster from Taipei, is perfectly at home in the world of crime, discipline, and brutal efficiency. But when a mysterious assassin guns down his father, Charles is forced to flee to Los Angeles to protect the two people he’s been long estranged from—his strong-willed mother and his clueless younger brother, Bruce.
While Charles tries to shield his family from the criminal empire that now hunts them, Bruce is thrust into a life he never expected: one filled with violence, secrets, and a brother he barely knows. Meanwhile, Mama Sun proves she’s no ordinary bystander—and may be even more dangerous than her sons.
Blending high-octane martial arts action, razor-sharp humor, and emotional family stakes, The Brothers Sun is a genre-bending thrill ride about identity, heritage, and what it really means to protect your own.
