In Bonds Will Be Broken, it all starts with a bang and gets complicated when a long-planned coup d’etat turns against the conspiring team due to treasonous plots. The plot of the film revolves around the last-minute planning by a group of very able and ruthless burglars who are determined to steal an invaluable relic. However, betrayals arise as each person has his own agenda, and they each have a history, grudges, and emotions that make trusting anyone difficult.
