After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai -a half-breed they once rejected-as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors. As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.
It's about honour and violence. And sacrifice. It's about bearded men who are prepared to sacrifice themselves in a violent manner. For honour. This has to be John Milius' favourite movie of the year and while it won't be yours it has a diverting charm.
