Story Synopsis

In this taut action thriller, Robert De Niro plays a modern-day Ronin—a term given to disgraced Samurai warriors forced to wander the countryside looking for work as a protector or hired assassin. Before the end of the Cold War, De Niro’s character was an international undercover agent. No longer needed, he, and a group of other “Ronin” have become covert mercenaries who sell their deadly services to the highest bidder.
