Summary

An African-American hitman in an East Coast city lives by the ancient code of the samurai, communicating with his Mafia handler only by carrier pigeon. When a contract goes wrong and the mob turns on him, Ghost Dog must reconcile his rigid bushido loyalty with the crumbling criminal world that employs him.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is a 1999 crime and drama film.
