Shogun Warrior presents an epic set in 17th century Japan. One clan, led by the warlord Takugawa leyasu (Toshiro Mifune), is locked in a bloody feud with a rival clan. Leyasu decides that the only way to achieve victory is to send a band of soldiers to Spain to obtain flintlock muskets that will fire even when wet.
To this end, Mayeda (Sho Kosugi), leyasu's most trusted samurai, leads a party to appeal to the King of Spain (Christopher Lee).
However, their difficult journey is plagued by treachery...
The film features spectacular action sequences and an all-star cast, including Japanese film icon Mifune in one of his last screen appearances.
