Japanese soldiers time travel to feudal era. Their lieutenant allies with samurai lord to become Shogun. Both seek power through warfare.

G.I. Samurai sees action superstar Sonny Chiba (The Street Fighter) heading the cast in a rip-roaring time-slip action blockbuster in which guns, tanks and helicopters come up against katana-wielding warriors on horseback! During a routine military exercise, modern-day soldiers led by Second Lieutenant Iba (Chiba) find themselves transported back in time four hundred years to war-torn feudal Japan. Facing attack by samurai warriors from rival clans, frictions rapidly emerge among these modern-day soldiers, whisked from a time of peace, freed from the strictures of a higher authority and stranded in one of the bloodiest and most decisive periods in Japan's history. Based on a novel by Ryo Hanmura and directed by Kosei Saito (Ninja Wars), G.I. Samurai's epic battle scenes wowed Japanese audiences upon release in 1979 and are now more awe-inspiring than ever in a new 4K restoration by Kadokawa Pictures.
