Well Go USA are bringing the 2019 Japanese period action-adventure ‘Samurai Marathon’ (サムライマラソン) to US Digital on May 12 and to Blu-ray and DVD on July 21, 2020.

Based on a novel by Akihiro Dobashi and directed by Bernard Rose, the film follows an ageing daimyo who challenges his samurai to a gruelling marathon to discover if they’re tough enough to face the newly arrived Americans. The cast includes Takeru Satoh, Nana Komatsu, Mirai Moriyama, Shota Sometani, Munetaka Aoki, and Naoto Takenaka.

Synopsis: In late feudal Japan, a young ninja (Satoh) operates undercover in the court of an aging lord and his rebellious daughter. When the lord challenges his lazy samurai to a punishing marathon—joined covertly by Princess Yuki—the ninja finds his loyalties put to the test. Facing impossible odds, this unusual band of characters is running a race to either win or die.

‘Samurai Marathon’ will be available for purchase from Amazon.com.
