Overview

In Savage Sisters, revolution is more than just background noise—it's the launching pad for a wild money heist. Set in a banana republic rife with corruption and double-crosses, the film follows Mai Ling and Jo Turner, two revolutionaries who, with the help of policewoman Lynn Jackson, break free from prison after being betrayed by their own gang. What begins as a revolutionary job quickly devolves into a chaotic chase for a stolen million dollars, attracting the unwanted attention of a con man, a determined captain, and a manipulative general. With shifting alliances and no shortage of weapon-wielding women, the film delivers a cocktail of action, drama, and exploitation energy.
