DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, April 2024) Delving into the rich history of the samurai era, the upcoming Netflix series Last Samurai Standing presents an intriguing tale of survival and honor. Based on the novel "Ikusagami" by Shogo Imamura, winner of the 166th Naoki Prize in 2021, the series features the multi-talented Junichi Okada in the lead role. He is also serving as producer and action choreographer, with Michito Fujii (The Journalist) in the director's chair. Set in the late 19th century during the Meiji period, Last Samurai Standing takes place at the Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto. Come nightfall, 292 skilled warriors gather, lured by the promise of a grand prize of 100 billion yen. Among them is our protagonist, Shujiro Saga (Junichi Okada), who enters this dangerous game with one goal: to save his ailing wife and child. |
