Heavenly Sword (film)

Heavenly Sword is a 2014 American adult animated action-adventure fantasy film based on the 2007 video game of the same name, developed by companies Sony and Ninja Theory.

Men would fight anyone tooth and nail just to wield the Heavenly Sword's unearthly power.

Eventually, the Heavenly Sword was entrusted to the ancient clan of nomadic warriors to ensure that man does not use it for evil purposes.

The film begins with Nariko, who is a part of that very same clan that were entrusted with the Heavenly Sword.

Shen sees her skills and gives her the Heavenly Sword to protect.

Two days before Christmas, one of the women Shen impregnated gave birth to a son, unbeknownst to him.

But when they reached the hut that their brother, Loki, should have lived in, they learned that he left a year ago for the northeast.

When Nariko and Kai kill her, they are informed that Whiptail already told the villagers that whoever tells Bohan of Loki's whereabouts will be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams.

But when Nariko and Kai reached the fortress in the northeast, Bohan's soldiers were already coming.

As Shen was about to die, Nariko used the Heavenly Sword's power to bring him back but the effects start to get worse.

After Nariko gives the Heavenly Sword to Loki, he is killed by Flying Fox.

During a difficult battle, Kai, who was just unconscious and badly wounded, killed the real Flying Fox.

The sisters spend three days traveling back to their homeland, all while Bohan's army follows on their trail.

When Bohan's army arrives, Nariko learns that Kyo, who is supposed to be dead, is alive.

Bohan, having seen the sword's power, sacrifices his soul to the Raven King.

Nariko returns to her home and tells her father that the sword didn't choose her, she chose it.

In Nariko's narration, she knows Kai will master the Heavenly Sword and that they will meet again in a better world.

Development of the movie started as an experimental project between Blockade Entertainment and Sony.
