Nicolas Cage and Sofia Boutella unite with legendary Japanese director Sion Sono in this incredible sci-fi/western riot of color and madness.
In the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town, a ruthless bank robber (Nicolas Cage) is sprung from jail by a wealthy warlord, The Governor (Bill Moseley), whose adopted granddaughter Bernice (Sofia Boutella) has run away. Strapped into a leather suit that will self-destruct within five days if he doesn’t find the missing girl, the bandit sets off on a journey to find the young woman — and his own path to redemption.
With influences ranging from Mad Max to samurai films to John Carpenter, plus the sheer originality you expect from Sion Sono, there’s nothing else like this one … as in there is no other film where the hero wears a suit designed to blow off limbs and balls one at a time – none!
“If you’re a fan of the bold and outrageous, get on board and hold the f&*k on!” – FILM INQUIRY
“There’s no weak link among cast or crew… Sion Sono’s first English language feature is a triumph for bizarro cinema.” – BLOODY DISGUSTING
