What Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance is
Road to Edo. Winter wind. A gate creaks. Disgraced, a samurai wanders the countryside as an assassin, pushing a perambulator holding his toddler and a cache of deadly weapons. The shogun's forces hunt them. Violent, beautiful, and strange, this is among the most influential samurai films ever.
