The Last Samurai

On the pretence of a business trip, Japanese multi-millionaire Yasujiro Endo journeys to the African nation of Imtazi. In reality, Endo is on a personal mission – a quest to find the truth about a Samurai ancestor who disappeared in Africa two centuries ago and perhaps to find the true spirit of the Samurai he feels lies deep within himself. Endo’s search takes him on a safari deep into the wilds of Africa led by the mercenary Johnny Congo and his girlfriend Caro. As the journey continues it becomes more dangerous as they find themselves kidnapped by rebel guerillas. It soon becomes apparent that the kidnapping is really only a smokescreen for a covert arms deal where the only bargains that can be struck are with terrorists. (Verleiher-Text)
