Based on the graphic novel "Hokuto No Ken" by Buronson & Tetsuo Hara, this live-action sci-fi action epic is an apocalyptic adventure centring on a man who must reverse the cataclysmic conditions of his world. Nietzschean hero Kenshiro wanders the wastelands of a neo-medieval future. He also attempts to liberate his imprisoned lover from the wicked despot Lord Shin. Kenshiro carries with him the spiritual philosophy of his deceased father and hones his superhuman skills in preparation for metaphysical battles as well as mortal ones. His role as "Fist of the North Star" prescribes for him an awesome and profound challenge.
