盪亂的唐末，一幫打家劫舍的盜匪因荒年而走投無路，遂挾持烏家莊村長之女當作人質，威脅村民交出米糧，不料最後卻被軍隊埋伏圍剿。當首領被斬首示眾，弟兄們亦死傷大半，一群殘兵敗卒開始內鬥，村長的女兒「彈珠」一度趁亂逃跑，卻被匪寇之一的何南抓回，兩人朝夕相處下漸生情愫，展開一段愛恨交織的複雜情感……。

王童繼《天下第一》後重返紛亂的五代十國，當同輩的新電影導演將焦點移置於鄉土日常的寫實況味，《策馬入林》卻反其道而行，直闖中原亂世，以心理寫實技法、細膩美術設計，重塑古裝史詩的豪情，在善惡曖昧處攪動欲望伏流，既詠嘆綠林草莽的悲壯，亦對世態炎涼發出不平之鳴。

Set in ancient China, the film centers on a leader of bandits, who kidnaps the mayor's daughter of the village pillaged by his accomplices. Though held hostage and mistreated, the woman slowly develops a love-hate relationship with one of the outlaws. Echoing the realist style of Taiwan New Cinema, director Wang Toon reinvents the genre of Wuxia costume drama with the emphasis on human psychology rather than action choreography.
