An end-of-career masterpiece from John Frankenheimer, the legendary director of The Manchurian Candidate, The Train, Seconds and Grand Prix, Ronin is a gritty and gripping action caper with some of the most exhilarating car chases ever committed to celluloid. The Cold War may be over, but a new world order keeps a group of covert mercenaries employed by the highest bidder. These operatives-for-hire, known as Ronin (masterless samurai), are assembled in France by a … mehrmysterious client for a seemingly routine mission: steal a top-secret briefcase. But the simple task soon proves explosive as other underworld organizations vie for the same prize and to get the job done, the Ronin must do something they've never done before trust each other. The illustrious international cast includes Robert de Niro, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Stellan Skarsgard, Sean Bean, Michael Lonsdale and Jonathan Pryce. weniger
