A squadron of Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers find themselves transported through time to their country's warring states era, when rival samurai clans were battling to become the supreme Shogun. The squad leader, Lt. Iba, sees this as the perfect opportunity to realize his dream of becoming the ruler of Japan. To achieve this, he teams his troops up with those of Kagatori, a samurai daimyo who also aspires to become Shogun.
Directed by Mitsumasa Saito, the film follows Yoshiaki Iba (Sonny Chiba) and his modern day battalion of Japanese soldiers, complete with jeeps, tanks, and modern weaponry, who travel back through time to feudal times where they come up against an army of samurai. Iba is forced to keep a cool head and retain control of his soldiers, but a sneaky samurai named Kagatore (Isao Natsuki) sees these modern day warriors as his chance at the big time and he conspires to team up with them so that he can use their weapons against the current reigning shogun. Carnage follows, and the only annoying thing about this movie is horrendous music score that does not fit the picture.
