Six-String Samurai
Vegas Needs a New King.
Directed by Lance Mungia
Produced by HSX Films
A wildly stylized, genre-blending adventure that blends post-apocalyptic desert mythology with '50s rock-and-roll cool, driven by visual flair and irreverent humor rather than narrative weight.
In a post-apocalyptic world where the Russians have taken over a nuked USA and Elvis is king of Lost Vegas, Buddy is a '50s rocker and wandering warrior rolled into one, too-cool package. Armed with his six-string in one hand and his sword in the other, Buddy is on his way to Vegas to succeed Elvis as King. Along the way, he saves an orphan who decides to tag along.
