Guts, a wandering mercenary, joins the Band of the Hawk after being defeated in a duel by Griffith, the group's leader and founder. Together, they dominate every battle, but something menacing lurks in the shadows.

Guts was brought up by a mercenary group since birth. After killing his guardian in self-defence, he runs away. Years later, he encounters Griffith and The Band of the Hawk. The Hawks fight for the King of Midland, and after winning the 100-year war against the neighbouring empire, they become the King's personal guard. However, once they reach the top, things take a turn for the worse.—Devin Hill-Mann <[email protected]>

With his sword in tow, a lone warrior known only as 'Guts' becomes part of a mercenary group called the Band of the Hawk. Will this soldier finally realise his purpose and find solace in this new group of devoted warriors?—Johnny-the-Film-Sentinel-2187
