Sword of the Beast

From legendary swordplay filmmaker Hideo Gosha comes Sword of the Beast, tracing the flight of Gennosuke, a low-level swordsman who kills one of his ministers as part of a reform plot. Betrayed by his former comrades, this treachery shakes his sense of honor and drives him to live in the wild, like an animal. There, he joins a motley band illegally mining the shogun's gold, and, with the aid of another swordsman, he gains not only a chance at survival but the opportunity to reclaim his name and honor.
