The Warrior and the Sorceress

1984 · TMDB 4.4

Directed by John C. Broderick

The mighty warrior, Kain, crosses the barren wastelands of the planet Ura, where two arch enemies, Zeg and the evil degenerate Balcaz, fight incessantly for control of the village's only well. Kain sees his opportunity and announces that his sword is for hire... but his eyes stay clearly on the beautiful captive sorceress Naja, and his newly awakened purpose.

Why it matters

An Argentine-American sword-and-sorcery film, a loose remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, set on a desert planet with two warring clans. David Carradine plays the wandering mercenary.
