Tatsuya Nakadai plays Ryunosuke Tsukue, a sociopathic samurai with no morals or feelings of consequence for what he does. When he kills a man in a fencing match, the brother of the deceased man vows to train with a master fencer and track down Ryunosuke to get his vengeance.

Tatsuya Nakadai and Toshiro Mifune star in the story of a wandering samurai who exists in a maelstrom of violence. A gifted swordsman-plying his trade during the turbulent final days of Shogunate rule-Ryunosuke (Nakadai) kills without remorse, without mercy. It is a way of life that ultimately leads to madness. The Criterion Collection is proud to present director Kihachi Okamoto`s swordplay classic The Sword Of Doom, the thrilling story of a man who chooses to devote his life to evil.
