Tornado

From Scottish director John Maclean, Tornado could be described as a samurai adventure crossed with a spaghetti western.

Set in the rugged landscape of 1790’s Britain, Tornado (played by model-songwriter Kōki) finds herself caught in a perilous situation when she and her father’s travelling puppet show crosses paths with a ruthless criminal gang led by Sugarman (Pulp Fiction star Tim Roth) and his ambitious son Little Sugar (Slow Horses’ Jack Lowden).

The gang are robbed of two bags of gold whilst watching the puppet show, which leads to them setting off on a brutal expedition to find Tornado, reclaim their loot and punish the thief. What follows is a thrilling, violent tale of adrenaline-fueled action, as Tornado (armed with her father's Samurai training) fights to escape a violent death.
