Directed by John Maclean (Slow West), survival thriller Tornado follows a young woman who faces off against a gang of ruthless criminals.
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 samurai show crosses paths with a ruthless criminal gang led by Sugarman (Tim Roth) and his ambitious son Little Sugar (Jack Lowden).
In an attempt to create a new life, Tornado seizes the opportunity to steal the gold from the gang’s most recent heist. What follows is a thrilling tale of adrenaline-fueled action as Tornado fights to escape a violent demise.
"Maclean has spent the decade since Slow West researching, writing and preparing Tornado and, while he wears his influences -- Kurosawa, John Ford, Sergio Leone et al -- proudly on his sleeve, the result is an authentic, multicultural period drama." Screen International
