Synopsis

The world's greatest swordsman abandons his warrior clan to start a new life in the American Badlands in THE WARRIOR'S WAY, a visually dazzling modern martial arts adventure with stunningly choreographed fight sequences and gravity-defying stunts, in an original, gorgeously realized journey into a mythical past.

THE WARRIOR'S WAY is written and directed by Sngmoo Lee in his American feature film debut, which seamlessly marries the cinematic traditions of East and West. It stars Korean superstar Jang Dong Gun (FRIEND, TAEGUKGI: THE BROTHERHOOD OF WAR), Kate Bosworth (21, SUPERMAN RETURNS), Geoffrey Rush (SHINE, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL), Danny Huston (THE CONSPIRATOR, ROBIN HOOD), Tony Cox (BAD SANTA, MEET MONICA VELOUR) and Ti Lung (FROZEN, DYNASTY OF BLOOD).

The film is produced by Barrie M Osborne (THE LORD OF THE RINGS franchise), Jooick Lee (SEVEN SWORDS) and Michael Peyser (MATILDA, HACKERS). The director of photography is Woo-hyung Kim (Late Autumn). Production designer is Dan Hennah (UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS). Editor is Jonno-Woodford Robinson (KING KONG). Costume designer is three-time Academy Award winner James Acheson (THE LAST EMPEROR, DANGEROUS LIAISONS and RESTORATION). Original music is by Javier Navarrete (PAN'S LABYRINTH).
