Snake Eyes

Actors: Henry Golding, Andrew Koji, Haruka Abe
PlotA lone drifter, haunted by his father's death, goes by the street name "Snake Eyes." He's a skilled fighter, gambler, and opportunist, working as a street-level hustler, but his eyes are always on revenge against his father's killer. His prowess in combat and undying will for vengeance catch the attention of the Arashikage clan, a secretive ninja family that controls vast power in Japan. The clan saves him from certain death and, in turn, offers him a place to call home, along with a chance to earn their trust through a series of brutal tests. As he trains and delves deeper into the world of the Arashikage, he draws the interest of the clan's heir, Tommy, and develops a bond with him.
But his ultimate loyalty is tested when he uncovers secrets about his past and the true circumstances surrounding his father's demise. As Snake Eyes grapples with this new knowledge, he encounters diverse characters with their own complex motives. Among them is a passionate and skilled weapons dealer, with whom he forms a tenuous alliance. Together, they navigate a treacherous underworld of arms dealing and ancient rivalries, while the hero struggles with the moral complexities of his vendetta. As he confronts the question of where his loyalty truly lies, he must make choices that could either lead to redemption or deeper into darkness, forming alliances and uncovering conspiracies that have repercussions far beyond his personal quest.
