What is The Rats: A Witcher Tale about?
In a kingdom where danger lurks around every corner, a resourceful crew of outlaws hatches an audacious plan: steal from the most ruthless and well-connected crime syndicate in the realm. Each member of the crew brings a distinct skill to the table, from cunning strategy to raw physical power, and every step of the scheme demands precision and nerve. As the operation unfolds, old loyalties are tested, unexpected rivals emerge from the shadows, and the line between predator and prey shifts in ways no one anticipated. The film delivers fast-paced action sequences rooted in the gritty, morally complex universe fans of the franchise will recognize — where survival often means doing the unthinkable.
