Journey back to the era of the Boshin War in the stunning and action-packed samurai thriller 11 Rebels, where loyalty clashes with survival.
A Brutal Conflict
Brutal conflicts and shifting allegiances drive this tale. It follows a desperate and unlikely alliance: a motley squad of hardened criminals and seasoned samurai. With their backs against the wall, they defend a fortress in a fight ignited by colliding ambitions.
From director Shiraishi Kazuya, behind the acclaimed film The Devil’s Path, 11 Rebels promises a cinematic experience of grand scale. This big-budget war thriller is not a work of fiction; it draws inspiration from historical events, adding a layer of authenticity to the unfolding saga.
A Stellar Cast
A stellar cast of Japanese talent leads the charge in this tale of betrayal and desperate resistance. Yamada Takayuki, known for performing in 12 Assassins, takes a lead role. He is joined by Nakano Taiga (Under the Open Sky), Onoe Ukon (Baragaki: Unbroken Samurai), and Sayashi Riho. Sakumoto Takara (Rage) and Chihara Seiji (“Hana”) also star.
An Action-Packed Epic
The trailer sets the stage for a battle against overwhelming odds. In Kazuya Shiraishi’s action-packed epic, ten desperate convicts are offered a tantalizing promise – freedom. They are tasked with defending a town in feudal Japan. These men fight with raw desperation, with nothing left to lose.
However, the fragile hope of freedom soon shatters. The officials who recruited them, dangling the promise of a new life, renege on their word, revealing a cold and calculated betrayal. The warriors realize that they have been nothing more than expendable pawns in a much larger and more treacherous scheme.
Now betrayed, abandoned, and facing a superior enemy, these eleven rebels – a mix of criminals and disillusioned samurai – must choose. They can either succumb to the inevitable and die as intended or band together. They must forge their destiny in the face of impossible odds. Their stand becomes not just a defense of a fortress but a fight for their very existence and a defiant cry against the treachery that has ensnared them.
