“400 years of training in the art of sudden death... unleashed on 20th century America.”
Revenge of the Ninja (1983) distills the martial arts revenge tale into a lean, mean urban skirmish. A once-peaceful ex-ninja finds his serene existence shattered when his son is kidnapped, plunging him back into a clandestine world of violence and treachery. Set amidst the neon-lit streets of an American-Japanese underworld rife with drug trafficking and criminal intrigue, the film's protagonist must navigate a perilous landscape of deception and retribution.
