Plot :
When the wealthy Russian real estate tycoon and organized crime figure Omovich looks to Lenny for help on a major new deal, Lenny is eager to assist (for a very large fee, of course). Uri agrees to pay, and as a show of faith, he insists that Lenny borrow his "lucky" painting. Uri then asks his accountant, Stella, to transfer the money to Lenny, but things quickly go awry when a band of thieves known as The Wild Bunch consisting of One Two and Mumbles (Idris Elba)—intercept the money before it reaches him (at the behest of Stella). Mumbles and One-Two see the heist as an opportunity to pay Lenny back a huge sum of money owed to him. Lenny had given them a loan to buy a building and then ordered the local Councillor to deny their petition, knowing the property would kick back to him. However, they are unaware that they are stealing from both Lenny and the Russian mob. To make matters worse, the lucky painting has mysteriously been stolen, and the number one suspect is Lenny's estranged stepson, crack-addicted rock star Johnny Quid (Toby Kebbell), who is presumed dead. As Lenny desperately tries to locate the painting, Uri calls in sadistic henchmen to recover his money.
In an attempt to find Johnny, Lenny and Archy enlist his former record producers Mickey (Chris Bridges) and Roman (Jeremy Piven) to track him down or else their concerts and clubs will be shut down.
After many side intrigues and cross-relations, Uri takes a decision on Stella who he has been smitten with for a long time. He arrives at Stella's house to seal their arrangements while also asking her to marry him, but spots his lucky painting in Stella's living room. On being asked how long she's had it, Stella says she's had it for years, not knowing it's actually Uri's. Betrayed and enraged, Uri orders his associate inside, presumably to kill her when the associate tells the driver to "hand him his gloves".
Meanwhile, Archy brings Johnny, the Wild Bunch, Mickey and Roman to Lenny's warehouse where Johnny begins to verbally provoke his crippled stepfather. Lenny then shoots Johnny in the stomach before he can finish what he says. Lenny then orders Johnny, Roman and Mickey be brought downstairs and executed. He then angrily demands that the Wild Bunch tell him where Uri's money is. Handsome Bob then suddenly calls out to Archy and offers Archy the documents in his jacket pocket which reveals to Archy that the "rat" in the ranks, codenamed "Sidney Shaw", was Lenny all along. Lenny had arranged with the police to routinely throw many of his associates in prison for years at a time in order to secure his own freedom. One Two, Mumbles and even Archy are among the people Lenny has ratted on over the years. With the information brought to light, Archy, enraged beyond belief at Lenny's treachery, orders Lenny's men to free the Wild Bunch and oversees Lenny's painful execution.
In the meantime, Johnny informs Mickey and Roman how they will be executed, prompting Lenny's man to move prematurely. Mickey and Roman intervene and kill their guard and then Johnny shoots two more men waiting at the top of the elevator. The Wild Bunch save them from the last remaining henchman (One-Two knocks him out from behind) and they all escape.
Some time later, Archy picks up a rehabilitated but still eccentric Johnny Quid from the hospital. Archy offers Uri's lucky painting to Johnny as a peace offering and "welcome home present", which Johnny happily accepts. Archy reveals to Johnny that obtaining the painting "cost a very wealthy Russian an arm and a leg." The film closes with Johnny proclaiming that with his new freedom, he will do what he couldn't do before: "become a real RocknRolla". The end credits reveal that there will be a sequel titled "The Real RocknRolla".
