A group of criminals are exiled from the mainland and sent to the distant island of Tsushima at the far reaches of Japan. On the way there, they overpower and kill their jailers, but when they arrive, they are warmly welcomed. The people of the island have plans for them, and these plans concern an upcoming war...
We're bandits and mountain monks.
نحن قطّاع طرق وراهبو جبال
Wir sind Räuber
und Bergmönche.
Somos bandidos o monjes. Si no se
puede navegar, viviremos en el monte.
Somos bandidos o monjes. Si no se
puede navegar, viviremos en el monte.
La montagne, ça nous connaît.

Eu era um ladrão que se fingia
 de monge nas montanhas.
Мы горные отшельники-разбойники.
