From Japan, an incredible cult film, a blend of samurai and science fiction, starring Sonny Chiba
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY
A unit of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces is mysteriously transported four hundred years into the past. Equipped with a tank, a jeep, and a helicopter, Iba and his men are drawn into the internecine wars tearing apart 16th-century Japan. They soon find themselves torn between the desire to return to the country they know and the urge to change the course of history …
A spectacular clash between past and present, Kosei Saito's ( Ninja Wars ) Warriors of the Apocalypse brings together the best of samurai films and Japanese action cinema. Both in front of and behind the camera—he directs the fight scenes—star Sonny Chiba ( The Street Fighter , Kill Bill: Volume 1 ) delivers a stunning performance as an officer gradually succumbing to destructive madness. Warriors of the Apocalypse is available in its complete cut and in a brand-new restored version on Blu-ray™ and 4K Ultra HD™ (presented in Dolby Vision™ [HDR10 compatible] and Dolby Atmos™).
