Following exile from the Yakuza, Jacques Reno, a former French Foreign Legion soldier, must return to Japan and revisit his criminal past in order to save his family, his boss and regain his honour in the action filled rampage that is Le Retour Du Samurai!
A neo-noir homage to both the French crime films of the 1960s and the later influenced Japanese and Hong Kong gangster films of the 1980's and 90's, Le Retour Du Samuraï is an independent film, shot on location in both Paris and Tokyo, that features in international cast and the action direction and cinematography of experienced Hollywood and European Film professionals as well as the local talents of some of Japan's finest actors and stuntmen.
