中國第六代導演鬼才管虎最新力作，找來馮小剛擔演過氣大佬六爺「老炮兒」。故事講述多管閑事的老炮兒昔日是江湖大佬，本來已退出江湖，卻因為兒子闖禍開罪了一名富二代而被迫重出江湖。當他重施故技時，卻發現時不與我。另一方面本來關係惡劣 的父子會否因為這次冰釋前嫌？管虎再次通過他的作品關注人與他身處世界的關係。戲中主角老炮兒雖然曾經是江湖中人，但他尚會講江湖道義和規矩，眼見今日的江湖中人毫不講理，才驚覺所謂的江湖氣早已隨他的時代一起過去。在傳統北京胡同出生的管虎希望通過六爺這個人物與一群富二代青年的衝突，展示北京城以至整個中國存在的世代差異。

Blockbuster director Feng Xiaogang takes a rare leading role in front of the camera as the eponymous aged Beijing gangster of Guan Hu’s highly anticipated action comedy, which also co-stars two of China’s hottest young stars of the moment. King of the streets back in his heyday, Mr. Six still commands respect in the neighborhood. Or so he thought, until his son (Li Yifeng) crosses a rich young street racer (Kris Wu) who pays no heed to the elder statesman, paving the way for an old-school rumble between the old and new generations. Well-received at the Venice Film Festival, Mr. Six sees Guan Hu at the top of his game in subverting genre expectations.
