Prisoners of the Ghostland
Feature Film | 2020-2021 | Action | USA

Brief synopsis

A ruthless bank robber Hero (Nicolas Cage) is sprung from jail by wealthy warlord The Governor (Bill Moseley), whose adopted granddaughter Bernice (Sofia Boutella) has gone missing. The Governor offers the prisoner his freedom in exchange for retrieving the runaway. Strapped into a leather suit that will self-destruct within five days, the bandit sets off on a journey to find the young woman—and his own path to redemption. Sion Sono’s delirious mash-up of Western, samurai, and post-apocalyptic thriller is a sly spoof of the mythical hero’s journey.
