Ready for a wild ride through the windswept moors of 1790s Britain? Buckle up for Tornado, a pulse-pounding, genre-smashing revenge thriller like no other.
Meet Tornado (Kōki), a fierce, determined young woman traveling with her father’s puppet Samurai show. When they run into a ruthless gang led by the menacing Sugarman (Tim Roth) and his ambitious son Little Sugar (Jack Lowden), things take a deadly turn. Her father is murdered. The gang’s stolen gold is up for grabs. And Tornado? She’s about to make them regret everything.
Expect high-stakes action, jaw-dropping swordplay, and a heroine who takes no prisoners in this electrifying reinvention of the classic samurai epic.
