“The Film that made Ninjas legendary!”

Action

Warlord Oda Nobunaga seeks to unite a fractured Japan. A young man trained in the arts of ninjitsu is manipulated by a ninja master into attempting to assassinate the warlord before he completes his task.

VIBE

A visceral, blood-soaked journey through feudal Japan. Expect relentless action, stark morality, and a grand, operatic sense of scale. This is pure, unadulterated samurai cinema at its finest.
