 Quote: “Eleven outcasts. One fortress. A last stand for honor… or death.”

Synopsis: In the chaotic final days of Japan’s samurai era during the Boshin War, 11 condemned criminals and rogue warriors are promised freedom if they defend a remote mountain pass fortress against an overwhelming imperial army. Led by ex-samurai Tatsukoro (Takayuki Yamada), this ragtag suicide squad faces cannons, bullets, and slashing blades in a brutal siege.

Director Kazuya Shiraishi delivers Kurosawa-inspired action with modern grit — epic swordplay, explosive battles, and themes of redemption amid betrayal. A desperate fight for survival, honor, and legacy in feudal Japan’s dying days. Blood, steel, and unbreakable will!

 Review: Jaw-dropping action, complex characters, and a heroic stand that echoes Seven Samurai. A thrilling samurai epic with heart and gore!
