Film description
"In feudal Japan, the warrior class of Samurai were sworn to protect their liege lords with their lives. Those Samurai whose liege was killed suffered great shame, and they were forced to wander the land, looking for work as hired swords or bandits. These masterless warriors were no longer referred to as Samurai - they were known by another name: Ronin".Sam is an American, hired, along with an international team of covert operatives, to steal a mysterious but well-protected briefcase. With international tensions relaxed, their destinies are uncertain and their loyalties up for grabs to the highest bidder. None of them knows the identity of their employer, the true motives of anyone else in the group, or the contents of the briefcase. The one thing that is clear is that some will die for it and they all will kill for it.
