In 1870, a gang
robs a train and steals a ceremonial Japanese sword meant as a gift for the
U.S. President, prompting a manhunt to retrieve it.
The Japanese
ambassador is traveling through the Wild West by train, when gangsters hold up
the train, to rob a gold shipment. They also carry
an ancient Japanese sword the ambassador was carrying as a present for the US
president. The ambassador's bodyguard (Toshiro Mifune) will go after them, with
the aid of one of the gang's leaders betrayed by his pals
Now Kuroda (the
only survivor of the samurais that escorted the ambassador) and Link must leave
their differences aside and work together. They both want to find Gotch, but
for different reasons: Kuroda wants to take back the sword, and Link wants the
stolen money. All this must be done in seven days, or the samurai will kill
Link and himself
This is a superior Western Eastern
with an international cast.
It is a most fun movie exploring a
Samuari and a Cowboy who come at everything from a different point of view.
