Into the Sun is a 2005 American action film directed by Christopher Morrison, and written by and starring Steven Seagal. The film modeled after the American yakuza films The Yakuza and Black Rain. Originally conceived as a remake of Sydney Pollack's The Yakuza, Warner Bros. would not release the rights to the story and the film was consequently reworked into Into the Sun. The film was directed by Christopher Morrison, also known as "mink".
Synopsis
The assassination of Tokyo governor Takayama (Mac Yasuda) causes a stir of public outrage in Tokyo, Japan. Upon hearing the news of the incident, the FBI asks the CIA's Tokyo office to investigate the killing, believing it to be linked to the Yakuza, a dangerous Japanese mafia. Retired CIA agent Travis Hunter (Steven Seagal) and rookie FBI agent Sean Mac (Matthew Davis) are assigned to work on the case and to track down the perpetrators. The Japanese branch of the CIA starts sniffing around under the auspices of Homeland Security. During work, Mac proves to be more of a distraction, not really knowledgeable about procedures or Japanese customs. Hunter was raised in Japan, and has a strong understanding of the Yakuza and their mysterious, eccentric, and sinister ways.Actors
