Cage plays Hero, a robber sprung from jail and tasked with retrieving Bernice (Sofia Boutella), the adoptive granddaughter of The Governor (Bill Moseley). He’ll have to cross the Ghostland and bring her back to Samurai Town within a matter of days, or his rigged suit will explode. Throw in an East meets West genre blend, and you...

The film opens with a dance number as aspiring fashion designer Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) lip-synchs to one of her many records in her grandmother (Rita Tushingham)’s country house and this effusive excitement permeates the screen. Eloise is an old soul: she gets along better with older people and prefers the fashion and culture of the 60s.
