Ghost Dog - Der Weg des Samurai (1999)
Ghost Dog lebt über der Welt – in einer selbstgebauten Hütte neben einem Taubenschlag auf dem Dach eines verlassenen Gebäudes. Er ist ein professioneller Killer und durchwandert, lautlos und ungesehen, die Stadt – wird eins mit der Nacht. Sein Leitfaden ist ein alter Verhaltenskodex der japanischen Kriegerkaste – der Samurai. Als sein Leben auf dramatische Weise von einer zerrütteten Mafiafamilie bedroht wird, die gelegentlich seine Dienste in Anspruch nimmt, reagiert er streng nach dem Kodex – dem Weg des Samurai ...
