Synopsis

Sundance winner John Maclean (Slow West) returns to HanWay with TORNADO, an original, survival
thriller.

Set in the rugged landscape of 1790s Britain, Tornado (Kōki,) is a young and determined Japanese woman
who finds herself caught in a perilous situation when she and her father’s travelling puppet Samurai show
crosses paths with a gang of ruthless criminals led by Sugarman (Roth) and his ambitious son Little Sugar
(Lowden). In an attempt to create a new life for herself, Tornado seizes the opportunity to take matters into
her own hands and steal the gold from their most recent heist. With her father murdered by the gang and her
life in grave danger, what follows is a thrilling tale of adrenaline-fuelled action, as Tornado races against time
to escape a violent demise and avenge her father's death. Armed with her father's Samurai training, Tornado
leaves a trail of devastation and bloody revenge in her wake, in this unforgettable tour-de-force thriller which
promises to be both an homage and a fresh reinvention of the great traditional Japanese samurai films.
