Samurai clans engage each other in battle over who gets to rule the nation, while warlords call upon the ninja to spy on and assassinate their rivals. Goemon, an ambitious young member of a ninja family, is thrown into the turmoil of Japanese history when his village is wiped out by the forces of leading warlord Oda Nobunaga, who has sworn to eradicate the ninja in his quest for absolute power. Fueled by vengeance, Goemon uses every weapon in his arsenal to bring down Oda and to prove that a ninja is an army of one.

Packed with spectacular and oft-copied action scenes, it also established the ground rules for all ninja movies that followed, introducing such classic tropes as the shuriken throwing star and the iconic black mask and suit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLIMITED EDITION BOX SET SPECIAL FEATURES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHigh-Definition digital transfer of each film presented on two discs, made available on Blu-ray (1080p) for the first time outside of Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUncompressed mono PCM audio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInterview with Shozo Ichiyama, artistic director of the Tokyo International Film Festival, about director Satsuo Yamamoto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVisual essay on the ninja in Japanese cinema by film scholar Mance Thompson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInterview with film critic Toshiaki Sato on star Raizo Ichikawa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTrailers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNew and improved optional English subtitles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSleeve featuring artwork based on original promotional materials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 1962, 1963\u003cbr\u003eCert: 15\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Blu-ray\u003cbr\u003eRegion: AB\u003cbr\u003eRAD054BD\u003cbr\u003eEAN:\u003cspan\u003e 5060974681037\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24\/03\/25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePress:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"The neatly constructed thriller [\u003cem\u003eBand of Assassins\u003c\/em\u003e] is packed with clever ninja subterfuge.\" -\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e DVD Talk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"brilliantly crafted, and like the best jidaigeki, completely immerses you in its world\" -\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e J Film Pow-wow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"unflinchingly violent and almost perpetually exciting\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - Rock!
