SARS Wars is a 2004 Thai horror-comedy film directed by Taweewat Wantha. The film follows two groups of people, one containing soldiers and scientists and the other consisting of rebels, who are trying to find a cure for a new disease that has affected many people in Thailand. The disease is called the "SARS Virus," and it has been spreading rapidly, killing people within a matter of days.

The film starts with a doctor working on the cure for the virus, but he is killed in front of his colleagues, who take the only sample of the SARS Virus with them. They try to escape, but soon their car crash-lands in the forest, where a group of rebels led by Khun Hsom (played by Suthep Po-ngam) captures them. The rebels believe they have a cure for the virus and want to hold the scientists captive until they give it to them.

Meanwhile, a group of soldiers are trying to find the missing scientists and their sample. They are led by Captain Bangkok (played by Supakorn Kitsuwon), who is determined to save his country from the deadly disease. The soldiers soon stumble across the rebels' hideout and are taken hostage as well.

As the two groups clash, they soon realize that they must work together if they want to find the cure for the SARS Virus. But when they stumble upon a laboratory deep in the forest, they discover that the virus has mutated and has become even deadlier than before.

The rest of the film is a wild and over-the-top ride, filled with gun battles, explosions, and outlandish situations. The rebels and the soldiers must fight their way through a horde of infected zombies, all the while trying to find the cure for the virus. The film even features a giant monster that must be battled in a thrilling and ridiculous showdown.

The filmmakers seem to be aware of the ridiculousness of the film, and they play it up for laughs. The humor is often crude and lowbrow, but it is still effective in lightening the mood and making the film more enjoyable. At the same time, the horror elements are also effective, with some genuinely creepy scenes and a sense of tension throughout the film.

The acting is also a highlight of the film, with Supakorn Kitsuwon and Suthep Po-ngam both delivering strong performances. The supporting cast is also solid, with Phintusuda Tunphairao standing out as a tough-as-nails scientist.

Overall, SARS Wars is a ridiculous and enjoyable film that combines horror and comedy in a unique way. It is not a film to be taken seriously, but if you are in the mood for some mindless fun, then it is definitely worth a watch.
