A kind and kind old woman, Evelyn Mercer, usually lives in a strange little grocery store of her own. And her big family has four good sons of different skin colors. Because she had adopted and raised four children: the reckless Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), the ugly but upright Angel (Tyrese Gibson), the typical good-natured Yale Rice (Andre Benjamin) and an ebullient Jack (Garrett Hedlund). While filial piety to their mothers on weekdays, they also go around to help those poor children who need affection and care. Moreover, they all deeply love this special big family and their kind old mother. A peaceful life filled with happiness goes on like this day by day.

One unfortunate day came unexpectedly, when the old mother Evelyn was alone in the grocery store when she broke into a group of brutal robbers. The old lady who couldn't resist fell to the ground after the sound of gunpowder bursting.

At the mother's funeral, the four brothers clenched their teeth and reunited again, and vowed to find and punish the murderer with their own hands to avenge the old mother. Of course, you can't be defenseless against armed gangsters. So the four brothers, under the leadership of the elder brother Bobby, prepared everywhere: the old warehouse, under the bed, in the toll box... They searched everywhere for the old man who once broke into the society. Automatic pistols, shotguns and even iron rods became their weapons of vengeance.

According to the videotape recorded by the mother on the monitor in the grocery store, the four brothers, unable to hide their anger, began to search for the enemy's trace in the nearby block. A fierce game on the basketball court is arousing the enthusiasm of the young man No. 100, but the reckless Bobby rushed into the court with a gun in his left hand and glared angrily, "Who is the murderer of his mother, who knows. Clues to this matter?" Then, the four brothers walked faster and harder for revenge. Streets, schools, and communities, as long as there were black people, it was the place for them to seek revenge.

The gunman chasing frantically in the car, the hidden sniper on the street corner, and even a killer climbed the window to take Bobby's life, but fortunately, the quick-witted Bobby cut the rope. Intense gunfights, fiery car chases... all of which heat up this revenge and battle: the secrets behind the murders, the truth of the matter, the lies of the righteous, the honest help of the good people, the corruption in politics, the underworld Mutual betrayal and framing of people...all of which are intertwined. But in the end, it is no match for the strength of brotherhood! The four brothers united as one, and despite the cost of blood, they finally punished the murderer of their mother!

The film is based on the murder of the mother, and tells the story of the four brothers in a family with a special composition who work together to fight against the author of the dark forces, and they fight to the death. In addition to being full of black violent elements, the film also added light comedy elements for "adjustment" accordingly. In fact, this is also one of Singleton's characteristics. In addition to the most striking action scenes of "black and white struggle" and "black and black" in the film, the most touching thing is the real feeling of the film. The adopted children of different skin colors live happily in the same big family, how can it not be enviable and moving. The murder of the kind-hearted mother and the indignant revenge frenzy with the four brothers aroused the hearts of all the hot-blooded men. In addition, in the film, the dynamic black music that often haunts the ears also invisibly increases the appeal of the film.
