About this release
In a war-torn age of feudal Japan, a deadly prophecy says the man who marries Ukio will rule the world, and ruthless forces will kill to make it happen. Standing against them is Jotaro (Hiroyuki Sanada), a master ninja who must fight through an onslaught of assassins and supernatural enemies to stop a reign of terror before it begins. Bursting with swordplay, sorcery, and cult-style spectacle, NINJA WARS (Iga Ninpôchô) is a delirious fantasy action classic from Japan’s golden age of ninja cinema.
